ATHENS STATE UNIVERSITY

Founded in 1822, Athens State University is Alabama's oldest educational institution of higher learning. Today, Athens State's role has evolved perhaps more than any other school in the state university system. Certainly, our mission is the most contemporary... Athens State is an upper-division university, meaning we serve junior-level, senior-level, and graduate students in their pursuit of a degree. This makes us uniquely positioned to help students who want to finish or advance their degrees and ultimately maximize their earning potential. We have a long, rich history, but we are built for the un-traditional college student... We place a genuine emphasis on producing the graduates that employers desire. We've become a destination for transfer students and for students who have paused their education - students who often find themselves balancing education with demands of adult life, including work and children.
