Andrew Jackson was President when the South’s first Catholic college was founded in 1830 on a hill overlooking Mobile Bay. Today, Spring Hill College is consistently ranked among the best colleges and universities in the South. Its Neo-Renaissance and Gothic Revival architecture surrounded by majestic oaks and azalea-lined walkways makes it arguably the most beautiful Jesuit campus in America.

Located along the Gulf Coast in Mobile, Alabama — recently voted a “Super Cool” community by travelormove.com — students at Spring Hill enjoy great Gulf seafood, vacation-like weather and a relaxed coastal lifestyle.

What really distinguishes Spring Hill College, however, is its rigorous academic program and a palpable sense of community shared by students and faculty (93% of whom have the highest degree possible in their field). Spring Hill’s scale and small class sizes create a learning environment where the personal care of students is not merely an ideal but a way of life.
