URN-5 University of Alabama Traditional Cache

This is number five of the University Run. University Blvd. is a very busy 6-lane road between Semoran Blvd. & UCF. We will highlight different universities along this highway although we recommend not attempting this during rush hour. We looked to find locations near areas you could pull off safely but be very careful entering back onto the highway. This cache is on the north side of the road. Good luck!

The University of Alabama offers programs of study in 13 academic divisions leading to bachelor's and graduate degrees. The only publicly supported law school in the state is at UA. Other academic programs unavailable elsewhere in Alabama include doctoral programs in anthropology, communication and information sciences, metallurgical engineering, music, Romance languages and social work.

As one of the first public universities established in the early 19th century southwestern frontier of the United States, the University of Alabama has left a vast cultural imprint on the state, region and nation over the past two centuries. The school was a center of activity during the American Civil War and the Civil Rights Movement. The University of Alabama varsity football program (nicknamed the Crimson Tide), which was inaugurated in 1892, ranks as one of 10 best programs in US history. The University of Alabama has consistently been ranked as one of the top 50 public universities in the nation.
