UAB's roots can be traced to the founding of the Medical College of Alabama (1859) and the opening of the Birmingham Extension Center of The University of Alabama (1936). In 1945 the Medical College of Alabama was moved from Tuscaloosa to Birmingham and the University's Medical Center was founded. In 1969, UAB became a separate institution with the establishment of the Undergraduate College. In November of 1966, the Extension Center and the Medical Center were merged to form "The University of Alabama in Birmingham", an organizational component of The University of Alabama (Tuscaloosa). In 1969 UAB became an independent institution, one of three autonomous universities within the University of Alabama System.
