Welcome to the Alabama School of the Arts at the University of Mobile! We are a Christ-centered academic community providing a one-of-a-kind experience we call “Higher Education for a Higher Purpose.” Here you will find small classes with individual attention from professors who know your name, care about your dreams, and prepare you to pursue the calling God has for your life. Through the Roger Breland Center for Performing Arts, you will take the lessons you learn in the classroom and put them into practice on the stage, behind the scenes, in the worship center and throughout the world. Our visual arts program will challenge and inspire you. Whatever your artistic talents – vocal or instrumental performance, worship leadership or production technology, theatre or graphic design – there is a place for you in the Alabama School of the Arts at the University of Mobile.
I invite you to visit campus, attend a performance, and become part of our University of Mobile family.
Go Rams!
