Founded in 1822, Athens State University is Alabama’s oldest continuously operating institution of higher learning in the state educational system. Athens State is one of only a few "upper division" universities in the entire country, meaning we serve primarily junior/senior transfer students and graduate students — individuals who are trying to balance the pursuit of a degree with work and family

life. As a university that tailors to adult learners, we empathize with you and the obstacles you face, and we appreciate your commitment to success. Our commitment is providing the flexibility and affordability essential for your success while providing personalized support each step of the way. Athens State currently offers over 50 undergraduate majors and degree options, in addition to graduate programs, many of which can be completed 100% online. At Athens State, we understand it isn't how you began your education that matters. And a strong finish is only the beginning.
