Emerging as part of Southwestern's educational experience is the new Paideia Program — a distinctive academic option for select students that provides opportunities to compare, contrast and integrate knowledge and skills gained in various areas of study. Students discover the powerful connections between the University's rigorous academic experience and dynamic programs available outside the classroom through leadership, collaborative learning, service and intercultural experiences.

Located on the edge of Texas Hill Country in the historic city of Georgetown, the more than 30 buildings situated on 700 acres supply an unusually fine environment for living and learning. The Georgetown / Austin area, on the edge of the Texas Hill Country, offers unlimited outdoor recreational activities for Southwestern's students. From horseback riding, canoeing, and hiking to cycling, camping, and rock-climbing, you will find natural resources are abundant.

Southwestern moved up one spot in the overall rankings for national liberal arts colleges, from 62 to 61.
