The University of Montevallo is a public university in Montevallo, Alabama. Founded on October 12, 1896, the university is Alabama's only public liberal arts college and a member of the Council of Public Liberal Arts Colleges. The University of Montevallo Historic District was established on campus in 1979. The school is located in a rural location in central Alabama.
The numbers tell a mixed story here — a 49% graduation rate means roughly half of students who start don't finish, which is worth taking seriously before enrolling. That said, Alabama's only public liberal arts college offers a genuinely distinct academic identity, a small campus feel with just over 2,000 undergrads, and manageable debt averaging $16,000 at graduation. Worth considering if you're drawn to a close-knit liberal arts experience on a tight budget, but go in with a clear plan to stay on track, since the retention and completion data suggest many students struggle to finish.
