Welcome to the Samford University website.

I am glad that you have taken a moment to explore our site and the abundance of information we have compiled for you. Samford has a long and proud history with roots in Alabama and branches that extend to the far corners of the globe.

Our institution is unique and we take pride in offering an eminent academic program that challenges the mind and fosters the soul through rigorous scholarship and a community rooted in Christian convictions.

The distinctiveness of a Samford degree is recognized nationally as we are ranked among the top universities in America. Over 4,500 students representing 46 states and 28 countries enroll in our institution. We offer a low student-faculty ratio in our eight school’s 26 degree programs with over 100 majors, so that students are fully engaged in the Samford experience. Our graduates carry this spirit of engagement with them into their communities and into the world, exemplifying the Samford maxim “The world is better for it.”

For those of you who are already part of the Samford family, thank you for your continued support. For those who have yet to experience Samford, I encourage you to discover more about our university

Sincerely,
Andrew Westmoreland
