About

As Alabama’s only public liberal arts university, the University of Montevallo offers an accessible, private-school atmosphere with highly regarded programs in the fine arts, business, education, and mass communication. Its scenic campus features historic red-brick walkways designed by the famed Olmsted Brothers firm, fostering a close-knit community centered on small class sizes and dedicated faculty mentorship. What truly sets Montevallo apart is "College Night," the nation's oldest student-led homecoming tradition, where the student body splits into "Purple" and "Gold" teams to write, produce, and compete with original musical theater productions.
