Why I chose a Baptist university

Attending a Baptist university empowers me to change the world. After dual-enrolling at a large public university for a year, I knew it wasn’t for me. It was easy to feel marginalized in the impersonal atmosphere characterized by a curriculum designed to restructure my faith-based worldview into a more “open-minded” perspective.

But that’s when I came to the University of Mobile (UMobile), a Baptist institution that unites quality academics with a Christian worldview. This university does more than provide an excellent liberal arts education. It cultivates firmly founded beliefs, values and convictions that set its graduates apart from the morally indifferent status of our culture.

I have the Alabama Baptist State Convention to thank for UMobile. Chartered and continually supported by Baptists and their generous gifts through the Cooperative Program, my university  and my faith-based education exist because Baptists do.

My distinctively Christian college education strengthens my faith and sharpens my reason so I can use the two together as the hands and feet of Christ in a broken world. The University of Mobile makes changing the world possible.

That’s why I chose a Baptist university. (UMobile)
