The University of Mobile has been named as one of “America’s Best Christian Colleges” for the 16th consecutive year and in “America’s 100 Best College Buys” for the fourth consecutive year.
UMobile is one of 89 colleges and universities nationwide to receive the 2012–2013 designation as “best Christian college,” one of only four colleges in Alabama to receive the “best college buys” designation and the only private university to receive it.
The results of the 22nd Annual National College Survey were conducted by Institutional Research & Evaluation, Inc.
UMobile enrolled 1,788 students in undergraduate and graduate programs in 2011.
To be considered for the designation “100 best college buys,” an institution must be an accredited four-year college or university offering bachelor’s degrees and residential facilities including residence halls and dining services. It must have had an entering freshman class in the fall of 2011 with a high school grade point average or SAT/ACT score equal to or above the national average for entering college freshmen. It must have an out-of-state cost of attendance in 2012–2013 for three quarters or two semesters below the national average cost of attendance, or not exceeding the national average cost by 10 percent.
The same requirements apply to be considered for the designation “best Christian colleges,” but SAT/ACT scores must be equal to or above the national average for all freshmen entering Christian institutions and the institutions must be affiliated with a recognized Christian denomination or be interdenominational and incorporate Christian principles and beliefs into their curriculum or environment. The financial aspects do not apply for this designation.
