The University of North Alabama is located in the city of Florence, which is located in the northwest corner of the State of Alabama. In addition to its magnificent history, Florence has the advantage of being situated on two lakes formed by Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) dams on the Tennessee River and is, therefore, an important point for anglers, boaters, and water sports enthusiasts. Also there are many public parks and picnic areas available to our students and their families.

The University occupies a beautiful campus on 130 acres in a residential section of Florence, Alabama. Florence, located just north of the Tennessee River, is the largest city in a four-city area that includes Tuscumbia, Sheffield, and Muscle Shoals, all located south of the river. The entire metropolitan area has a combined population in excess of 134,000. Since Florence is the hub of the metropolitan economic area, it provides a great number of retail establishments for shopping and a wide array of restaurants for dining. Additionally, there are many first-rate health care facilities providing top-notch health care. The UNA's initial campus facility master plan was developed by world famous Frederick Law Olmsted architectural firm who designed New York City's Central Park.

The University of North Alabama provides free airport transportation from Huntsville International Airport and Northwest Alabama Regional Airport. Students can easily find connections to these airports from all over the United States.
