The 25 Schools Stocked With Jocks

From NCAA championships to intramural sports, the University of Alabama is a haven for athletes, which is why the college finds itself at No. 3 on Newsweek’s list of colleges stocked with jocks.

Available athletics include football, basketball, golf, softball and more, plus sports for students with disabilities. The University of Alabama has claimed 17 NCAA titles, 13 of which were earned by the football team (women’s gymnastics landed the other four).

Academically, the school had a record 10 students named to USA Today’s 2010 All-USA College Academic Team. Enrollment at the University of Alabama comes in at around 30,000 undergraduate, professional and graduate students, 68 percent of who were from Alabama in 2009. International students made up 29 percent of the student body, with 12 percent of students identifying as African-American, 2 percent as Hispanic-American and 1 percent as Asian-American. Fifty-three percent of students in the fall of 2009 were women.

The private liberal arts college costs $19,284 per year for in-state residents and $31,484 for those attending from out of state.
