Universities and Colleges in Birmingham

Birmingham is a city that exudes Southern charm--in fact, this city of about 230,000 has been called the last major Southern city in America. Birmingham has come a long way from the tumultuous racial tensions that plagued the city in the 1960s. The opening of the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute in the early 1990s was seen as a healing step nationwide. Tucked away in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, scenic Birmingham has many top-notch attractions, including the Birmingham Zoo, nearby Alabama Adventure Water and Theme Park in Bessemer, Alabama Sports Hall of Fame, and the McWane Science Center. The city also is home to the Birmingham Sabres of the Continental Basketball Association, and the Birmingham Barons minor league baseball team, which plays in the Southern League.
