University of Alabama
The University of Alabama, founded in 1831, is the state's flagship public research university, and its Crimson Tide football program, under legendary coaches Bear Bryant and later Nick Saban, has won more national championships than nearly any other program in college football history. The university's business school and its nationally recognized honors college have driven substantial growth in out-of-state enrollment over the past two decades, with Alabama's aggressive merit scholarship offerings helping the school become one of the fastest-growing public universities in the country for non-resident students. The campus retains several buildings that survived the Union Army's 1865 burning of the university during the Civil War, including the President's Mansion, giving the historic quad a physical connection to the institution's 19th-century origins that predates most of the rest of the modern campus. The university's combination of major-program football success, aggressive out-of-state recruiting through generous scholarships, and its steadily rising research profile has made Alabama one of the more notable examples of a Southern flagship university using athletic success to help drive broader institutional growth.
VS
Auburn University
Auburn University, founded in 1856, has built one of the strongest engineering programs in the Southeast, and its aerospace engineering and industrial and systems engineering programs have produced numerous graduates who've gone on to significant careers at NASA and major aerospace and defense contractors. The university's veterinary medicine program is consistently ranked among the best in the country, and Auburn's agricultural programs reflect its land-grant founding mission, continuing to serve the state's substantial agricultural economy through applied research and extension services. Auburn's Tigers football program, with its passionate "War Eagle" tradition and its historic rivalry with the University of Alabama in the annual Iron Bowl, has given the university a national athletic profile, and the in-state rivalry between the two schools is considered one of the most intense in college sports. The university's combination of strong applied engineering and veterinary programs, its land-grant agricultural research mission, and its major-program athletic tradition has made Auburn the clear complement to Alabama within the state's public university system, with each school drawing distinct but similarly passionate loyalties from Alabama residents.
