ROLE AND SCOPE

Adopted by the Board of Trustees October 30, 1992

Introduction

The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), a publicly supported institution of higher education located in Birmingham, Alabama, is one of three institutions comprising the University of Alabama System. UAB has three major academic units: Academic Affairs, the Academic Health Center, and the Graduate School. Within Academic Affairs, baccalaureate-level academic programs are offered through six schools: Arts and Humanities, Business, Education, Engineering, Natural Sciences and Mathematics, and Social and Behavioral Sciences. The Academic Health Center offers subbaccalaureate, baccalaureate, and professional instruction through six health professions schools: Dentistry, Health Related Professions, Medicine, Nursing, Optometry, and Public Health. It also provides primary, secondary, and tertiary health care through the University of Alabama Hospital and the health clinics. Postbaccalaureate graduate degree programs are offered individually and cooperatively by all of the various schools through the Graduate School. Both Academic Affairs and the Academic Health Center house a number of special centers and institutes which focus on specific research and service areas.

This Role and Scope statement is intended to identify the proper functions of UAB and to define appropriate operating limits. In reality, a very complex set of circumstances and influences, many beyond the immediate control of the institution, determines the actual nature of the University's activities at any particular time. Within the confines of this statement, however, the University sets forth a perspective regarding its development and reflecting its own philosophy, its own understanding of the needs of its many constituencies, and its own sense of history and future. This statement is organized by functional areas, with particular concern for the efficient and effective use of available resources.

Undergraduate Education

Through the six schools within Academic Affairs, UAB offers a full range of undergraduate programs in liberal arts, technical, preprofessional, and professional studies. Also, the Schools of Nursing, Dentistry, and Health Related Professions provide accredited health profession instructional programs at the baccalaureate levels. Determining a proper role and scope for these levels of instruction requires the consideration of several factors including the current roles of other institutions, the nature and objectives of UAB's students, and the needs of the urban area.

UAB is the largest public institution offering four-year undergraduate instruction in the Birmingham area. As such, it offers instructional programs with an appropriately high level of academic quality.

At the lower-division level, the University shares its responsibility with the public junior and community colleges in the Birmingham area. Those institutions have open admission policies, and properly assure high school graduates an entry point to higher education. In contrast, the academic offerings of UAB must be of a quality, depth, and scope sufficient both to provide introductory-level offerings and to offer complete coverage in the major disciplines and relevant supporting areas for advanced study by upper-division students. Thus, it is appropriate that each academic department offering undergraduate instruction have a fully qualified faculty of competent instructors who are active scholars and professionals in their respective disciplines.

Graduate Education

Postbaccalaureate graduate programs are offered through the Graduate School. Graduate education transcends the presentation and assimilation of existing knowledge and specifically trains individuals for involvement in generating new knowledge through research and creative thinking.

As is the case for undergraduate education, the University also considers a variety of factors in determining the proper role and scope for its graduate programs. These factors include the responsibility of the University to take full advantage of its academic health center, the large and diverse nature of its urban constituency, the national reputation of its biomedical programs, the particular circumstances related to serving students from many backgrounds, the needs of the community which its serves, and the need to train highly qualified scholars for faculty positions.

The large number of place-bound individuals seeking graduate-level instruction for career qualification and advancement, the community's need for individuals with advanced training, and the institution's need to support undergraduate and professional student instruction mandate that the institution develop strong programs in the health professions, business, education, engineering, urban affairs, and public administration. Further, UAB's national prominence in biomedical research requires that it develop strong graduate programs in the natural, social, and behavioral sciences and in interdisciplinary fields such as nutrition, public health, health education, biomedical engineering, education for the physically and mentally handicapped (special education), medical psychology, and neurosciences. As an urban university, UAB is an appropriate setting for the development of outstanding programs in a variety of disciplines such as economics, the social sciences, and applied fields such as criminal justice, public administration, and social work.

Research

Strong educational programs include research activities of the highest quality. It is, therefore, appropriate that the University emphasize the roles of both basic and applied research. The national prominence of UAB in research dictates continuing major participation by each academic unit and specialized center.

The urban setting of the University necessitates the development of research programs responsive to the city's economic, social, and cultural needs. At the same time, responsibilities to the state and region for programs such as public health and nutrition demand similar development. The research role requires implementation of special aspects of UAB's instruction and service responsibilities.

Health Care

The Academic Health Center serves as the state's principal tertiary health-care provider, as an ultimate referral center for Alabama patients, and as a referral center for persons from across the nation who need sophisticated clinical services. UAB has attained national prominence through its many centers such as those for cardiovascular disorders, cancer, dental abnormalities, arthritis, diabetes, and disorders of the brain and nervous system.

As a part of the Academic Health Center, the University Hospital plays a prominent role in the training of health professionals. It also serves a wide spectrum of patients, including many who are indigent.

Academic Health Center units provide specialized health care for the citizens of Alabama while carrying out their mandates to develop new ideas and techniques, to treat health-related problems, and to educate health-care professionals.

Continuing Education

As the senior public institution located in the major urban area of the state, UAB has a special commitment to develop and maintain comprehensive programs of continuing education. More individuals outside the traditional 18- to 24-year age range are re-entering education, pursuing "lifelong learning" for many different purposes by means of: (1) completion of degree programs; (2) self-improvement in skills, understanding, and intellectual enlightenment; (3) vocational change or improvement (including certificate programs); and (4) professional continuing education.

UAB offers continuing education opportunities of a quality and diversity consistent with the other programs of the University. The resources of UAB mandate its primary role in the implementation of comprehensive continuing education programs in the Birmingham geographic area.

Service

A major theme permeating all the activities of a comprehensive university is service to the public. Because of its location and its strengths, UAB's service activities focus on the problems confronting the urban area and the health needs of the state and region.

Summary

The University of Alabama at Birmingham, located in the state's principal urban area, is the senior public institution serving Alabama's economic, industrial, and cultural center. Its programs and services in the health professions and in health care are preeminent in the state, and it is a regional and national resource in health-related research, training, and service. UAB's Academic Health Center and Academic Affairs units are interdependent and mutually supportive, together providing a unique resource for this state and region. The corollary is that the University must maintain the basic quality of all its programs and activities at a level consistent with its mission. At the same time, areas of special competence which emerge from its urban setting and health focus shape the ways in which the institution best serves Birmingham, the state, and the nation.
