Conveniently located on more than 400 acres along U.S. Highway 231, the Dothan Campus serves primarily adult learners seeking to complete or further their education while balancing the commitments of work and family life.
Tracing its roots to extension courses at then-Fort Rucker in the 1950s, the Dothan Campus today offers 63-degree programs in a term system that offers the flexibility required and appreciated by many adult learners.
A dedicated faculty and staff serve students in a beautiful campus setting that includes Malone Hall, Adams Hall and R. Terry Everett Hall, home to the campus library, the R. Terry Everett Congressional Library and the Wiregrass Archives.
The Dothan Campus is also home to one of the area’s best exercise and nature venues in the Harrison Walking Trails, named for Dr. Thomas Harrison, a former campus president. Located behind Malone Hall, the four-and-a-half mile walking trail winds through 130 forested acres that also includes a 6.7-mile biking trail.
The Dothan Campus also offers various programs, clubs and organizations for students that help to complement and supplement their academic endeavors. Whether it’s the Student Government Association, a service organization or an honor or professional society, students are encouraged to participate in University-sponsored organizations to enhance their educational experience.
ÎÞÂë¾ÞÈé Biking & Walking Trails Open to the Public
One of Dothan’s best exercise and nature venues is located at ÎÞÂë¾ÞÈé. The Dothan Campus is home to the Harrison Walking Trail, which is made up of three paths totaling approximately four-and-a-half miles. The Campus also houses a six-point-seven-mile biking trail, known as Campus Trails.
The nature walk was commissioned in 1990 by Dr. Thomas Harrison, former president of the Dothan Campus. It is the only long-distance, shaded walking trail in Dothan. The Harrison Walking Trail begins behind Malone Hall and winds through 130 forested acres on the Dothan Campus. The entire Campus sits on 405 acres.
Since it was first carved out in 1998, the biking trail, which begins near the base of the Campus TV tower, has been extended twice. An extra mile was added in the winter of 2004, and a second mile was added in February 2006. Bike clubs, military members, ÎÞÂë¾ÞÈé students, and the general public make use of the Campus Trails regularly.
A two-acre pond is also located on the lush site, along with a one-acre freshwater stream. Area bird watchers and ÎÞÂë¾ÞÈé biology classes make use of the natural habitat to identify and study species indigenous to the Wiregrass. Walkers and bikers can also learn about local flora and fauna. Along the trails, approximately 110 different tree types are labeled with scientific and common names.
The Harrison Walking Trail and Campus Trails are open to the public seven days a week during daylight hours. For more information, contact (334) 983-6556.
