About Mobile, Alabama

Mobile is a city and the county seat of Mobile County, Alabama, United States. The Mobile tribe became allies with the French colonists and suggested the location for the original town of Mobile and a river fort. Unlike other Alabama cities, Mobile's French and Spanish colonial history has given it a culture distinguished by French, Spanish, Creole, African, and Catholic heritage, in addition to later British and American influences.

Solid value

A reasonable return: earnings comfortably clear the debt over a few years for most students who finish.

Earnings are the College Scorecard median for former students (working, not enrolled) 10 years after entry — not a guarantee, and they vary a lot by major. Debt is the median federal loan balance at graduation.
