About This School
Spring Hill College is a private nonprofit institution located in Mobile, Alabama with approximately 782 undergraduate students enrolled. Spring Hill College has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 77%. The average net price after financial aid is $20,449 per year. The graduation rate is 52%, and the typical graduate earns $51,300 within 10 years of enrollment.
Spring Hill College is a private Jesuit college in Mobile, Alabama. It was founded in 1830 by Bishop Michael Portier of Mobile. Along with being the oldest private college or university in the state of Alabama, it was the first Catholic college in the South, is the fifth-oldest Catholic college in the United States, and is the third-oldest member of the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: a 56% graduation rate and 66% freshman retention rate suggest a real risk that students won't finish what they start, which is worth taking seriously. On the positive side, average net cost of $19,514/year is reasonable for a private school with genuine historical distinction — the oldest private college in Alabama with deep Jesuit roots — and median debt of $21,500 at graduation is manageable against $51,300 in median earnings a decade out. Worth considering if you're drawn to small-college Catholic or Jesuit education and have a clear plan for staying engaged, but families should ask hard questions about support services and why so many students leave before graduating.
