The University of North Alabama (UNA) is a public university in Florence, Alabama, United States. It is the state's oldest university. Occupying a 130-acre (0.5 km2) campus in a residential section of Florence, UNA is located within a four-city area that also includes Tuscumbia, Sheffield and Muscle Shoals. The four cities compose a metropolitan area with a combined population of 140,000 people.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: at $11,024/year average net price and only $15,781 in median debt at graduation, this is one of the more affordable public university options you'll find, making it genuinely worth considering for cost-conscious families. The concern is the 54% graduation rate — nearly half of students who start don't finish — which is a real red flag worth asking the school about directly. If you're confident in your plan to stay enrolled and complete your degree, the low cost and manageable debt load relative to median earnings of $42,800 make the financial case reasonably solid.
