Nearly 1,600 undergraduate and graduate students attend UM, which is Baptist-affiliated. Tuition is the same for in-state and out-of-state students. The University of Mobile is among the top master’s-level universities in the South, according to U.S. News & World Report’s 2008 edition of “America’s Best Colleges,” and had been named one of “America’s Best Christian Colleges” for 11 consecutive years. The university is located just north of Mobile, Ala., and about an hour from Gulf Coast beaches.

UM offers undergraduate and graduate degrees and over 40 areas of study through the College of Arts and Sciences; the Center for Performing Arts; the schools of business, Christian studies, education and nursing; and the Center for Adult Programs.
