UNIVERSITY MINISTRIES

As a Christ-centered, academically-focused university, we are preparing students to fulfill the Great Commission through a Biblical worldview. Through involvement in the local church, students experience the fullness of community and opportunities for life-changing service.

We encourage our students to attend and serve in our local churches through intentional events like Equipped Seminars and For the Church. We also provide monthly worship experiences and on-campus discipleship that connects your heart, soul, and mind to Christ.

FOCUS FRIDAYS

We are intentional about creating academic and student life experiences that build community in a way no other college does, through Focus Fridays. Our unique approach to learning means you go to classes Mondays through Thursdays, immersing yourself in academic programs that stretch your mind. On Fridays, you focus on enriching academic opportunities and amazing student life experiences.

RECREATION AND WELLNESS

The University of Mobile offers a fitness center, swimming pool (for students, faculty, and staff), and an intramural complex with lighted fields for various sports. Students also have access to sand volleyball courts, a Disc Golf Course, and tennis/pickleball courts. Guests must be accompanied by a student and follow specific rules for the driving range.

STUDENT GROUPS

We believe that being involved in a student group is a crucial part of your college experience. That’s why we offer a wide range of student groups to cater to the diverse interests of our student body. Our student groups cover a wide range of interests including academic, social, athletic, service-oriented, and religious groups. Whatever your passion may be, we have a student group for you! Being part of a student group is a great way to meet new people, develop leadership skills, and engage in activities outside the classroom.
