- The heart of Sewanee is its academic life. Finding friends, growing spiritually, and building leadership skills in organizations and on athletic teams also comprise the Sewanee experience, but classes define the rhythm of each week. At Sewanee, small classes with plenty of collaborative work, discussion, and frequent writing assignments are common. "It is a small, intimate community with a clear sense of purpose, coherent values, and a collegial atmosphere"
- Sewanee's curriculum challenges while it educates. The high expectations placed on students are balanced with the faculty's commitment to personal attention and encouragement. Regardless of their major, Sewanee students develop the ability to research, analyze, solve problems, and express themselves.
- The university offers thirty-eight majors, twenty-six minors, two concentrations and seven pre-professional programs.
- Our alumni always speak fondly of their Sewanee “experience,” and at the core of this experience is a top quality education. Each year, the University is consistently ranked among the nation’s very best liberal arts colleges as a direct result of the care and devotion of faculty who work closely with their students to yield an unmatched educational experience. Since its founding, the College of Arts and Sciences at the University has graduated 25 Rhodes Scholars, 34 Watson Fellows, and 25 NCAA Postgraduate Scholars, while the institution’s School of Theology has added to its alumni ranks countless bishops, including three of the last four presiding bishops of the Episcopal Church.
- The University is located atop the Cumberland Plateau between Nashville and Chattanooga, Tennessee. Sewanee’s physical environment, which includes a 10,000-acre campus, provides an unparalleled place in which to study and reflect, and has, over its history, become a meeting place for some of America’s most respected literary figures.
