About University of Mobile

Set near Mobile Bay's pines, University of Mobile pairs a small-campus feel with the coast's easy rhythm. It's known for close faculty mentorship and a faith-informed approach to learning across the arts, sciences, education, business, and health fields. Classrooms, studios, and labs sit beside a busy learning commons, with tutoring, advising, and counseling students actually use. Performance halls and athletic spaces keep days full and evenings lively.

Student life leans welcoming and purposeful. You'll see intramurals on the green, coffeehouse sets, worship gatherings, and service projects across the city. And the career side is practical: hands-on coursework, faculty connections, and internships with hospitals, schools, nonprofits, and coastal industries build real experience. Mobile's festivals, food, and waterfront invite exploring, while long standing campus traditions make a big family out of a smaller campus.
