Welcome to where dreams become a reality, where the practical world meets inspiration. For more than 160 years, an Auburn degree has prepared a new generation of students to innovate and lead. And our results speak for themselves. Forbes calls us a “Best Value College” and Kiplinger's named us a “100 Best Values in Public Colleges.” It’s no surprise that Auburn is Alabama’s top university. While some students literally learn to fly here, all are prepared to soar.
