The smallest institution is Heritage Christian University, a Churches of Christ-afflilated seminary, with an enrollment of 88 students. The oldest institutions are the public University of North Alabama in Florence and the Catholic Church-affiliated Spring Hill College in Mobile, both founded in 1830.[2][3] There are also 8 four-year and 3 two-year historically black colleges and universities.[4]
