University of Mobile

The University of Mobile is a Christian liberal arts university at 5735 College Parkway in Mobile. Its academic directory includes undergraduate and graduate study across nursing and health professions, business, education, the arts, sciences, and Christian studies, with select online and evening options. Nursing is a substantial pathway: the school lists traditional BSN, accelerated BSN, associate, and RN-to-BSN routes, along with graduate nursing degrees and certificates. Professional programs have added admission requirements, so compare the exact program and entry route before applying. Use the official programs and majors directory to check the full catalog.

Application steps to check early

New students apply online. The university says first-time freshmen may self-report GPA and test scores; ACT/SAT scores are not required when GPA is at least 2.75, although an ACT score of 21 or higher is recommended. Freshmen may initially send an unofficial high-school transcript, followed by an official one after graduation; transfer applicants must submit official transcripts from every college attended. Nursing and other professional programs add requirements. Applicants seeking aid should file the FAFSA (University of Mobile code 001029); the application page provides the portal and current checklist.

Scholarships and aid

After the admissions process is complete, traditional undergraduates are automatically considered for academic scholarships. The university currently lists freshman annual awards of $16,000 for an unweighted GPA of 3.50–4.00, $14,000 for 3.00–3.49, $12,000 for 2.50–2.99, and $10,000 for 2.00–2.49. Renewal requires at least 12 credits per semester and a cumulative GPA matching the award tier; the award can run for up to eight semesters. Transfer, talent-based, and need-based aid have separate conditions. The Alabama School of the Arts lists audition- or interview-based awards up to $25,000 annually for eligible accepted students. These are published award schedules, not an estimate of an individual net price: confirm the entry-year terms, stacking rules and total bill with Financial Aid.

Campus, hours and student experience

The main campus is at 5735 College Parkway, Mobile, AL 36613; the published main phone is (251) 442-2222. The campus listing shows hours Monday–Friday, 7:30 a.m.–5:30 p.m., and closed Saturday and Sunday; individual academic and student-service offices may keep different schedules. The institution also offers online programs; I found no separate physical campus address in its main program directory.

Recent voluntary student comments often value smaller classes, approachable professors and the sense of community. Other students point to dining consistency, limited weekend activity, or the need to consider whether a faith-centered environment is a good personal fit. That range of experiences is a reason to visit and ask about the schedule in your intended program, campus events, meal plans, and expectations for student life.
