About This School

University of Mobile is a private nonprofit institution located in Mobile, Alabama with approximately 1,307 undergraduate students enrolled. University of Mobile has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 78%. The average net price after financial aid is $22,382 per year. The graduation rate is 57%, and the typical graduate earns $38,700 within 10 years of enrollment.

The University of Mobile is a private Christian university in Prichard, Alabama United States. The university has a total enrollment of more than 2,000 students. It is affiliated with the Alabama Baptist Convention.

The numbers tell a mixed story here — the $19,603 average net price is genuinely affordable, and a median debt of $19,000 at graduation is manageable, but a 56% graduation rate and 72% freshman retention suggest a meaningful number of students don't finish, which is worth taking seriously. Median earnings of $38,700 a decade out are modest, so this school makes the most sense if you're drawn to its Baptist faith community and small campus feel (just over 1,000 undergrads) rather than chasing a high-earning career track. Worth considering if the Christian mission and personalized environment align with what you're looking for, but ask hard questions about academic and financial support before committing.
