History

The UAH campus.

The genesis for a publicly funded institution of higher education in Huntsville was many years in the making. Begun in January 1950 as an extension of the University of Alabama and known as the University of Alabama Huntsville Center, classes were first taught at West Huntsville High School. UAH's first undergraduate degrees were awarded in May 1968 as part of the spring commencement ceremony at The University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, (although a "cap and gown" ceremony was held in Huntsville).

UAHuntsville or UAH?

In August 2007, the University officially announced the creation of a new signature element to better tie together the concept of "UAH" with its location in Huntsville. Dr. Williams, the University President cited the reasoning as being a lack of understanding as to where UAH is located and what it does with people outside of the Southeast or tech and defense fields. The new signature element was not taken well by students, and within two weeks a petition was started and signed 600 times by students wishing to ban the concept. Dr. Williams has made it clear that the new signature element was simply a "marketing" thing and would not replace the schools unofficial name or logo.
