Is Alabama's football glory helping the university's international brand?

But can you translate that excellence into numbers? Fifteen years ago, the campus in Tuscaloosa had 20,000 students, mostly from Alabama.

“Fast forward to today, we have over 38,000 students from all 50 states and from more than 72 different countries,” (Jo) Bonner (six-term US Congressman from Alabama who now works with the university) said.

The Tuscaloosa campus has seen the number of foreign students more than double over the span of a decade. (Numbers are down slightly this academic year, with 1,154 foreign students, compared to a high of 1,670 three years ago.)

The short answer is “yes”.
