About Selma University

Set in a city that shaped the civil rights movement, Selma University is known for a faith-rooted, student-centered education. Students build a strong foundation in writing, critical thinking, and leadership, with faculty who lean into mentoring and real conversation. The library, study lounges, and chapel offer steady spaces for focus and reflection, while advising, tutoring, and wellness support keep momentum going. It's the kind of place where someone notices when you need a hand.

Campus life stays personal and active. You'll find student-led groups, community service, ministry opportunities, and room for pickup games and creative projects. The culture feels warm, purpose driven, and proud of its HBCU heritage. Career preparation grows through hands-on projects and connections with local schools, churches, nonprofits, and small businesses. And the surrounding Selma offers museums, riverfront views, and meaningful ways to engage with history while shaping your own path.
