IT'S OUR 60th DIAMOND ANNIVERSARY

Come join the celebration throughout 2021 as we remember the early days, when Mobile College was founded and later became the University of Mobile, to today and into the future as we pursue our foundational mission of Higher Education for a Higher Purpose.

We know there isn’t just one story of the University of Mobile. With over 14,000 alumni throughout the world, there are over 14,000 stories of how a small Christian college in Alabama is making a huge impact in the world. Be part of the celebration and help us tell the University of Mobile story!


THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MOBILE

The story of the university began in 1952, when the Mobile Baptist Association appointed a committee to study the feasibility of starting a Baptist-affiliated college in Mobile. In 1959, the Alabama Baptist State Convention agreed to build and operate a college if the Mobile community would raise $1.5 million within two years. Only one year later, area churches, businesses, and industries pledged more than $2 million to the effort.
