Sewanee: The University of the South

Welcome to Sewanee: The University of the South, home of one of the nation's top liberal arts colleges, a School of Letters, and a seminary of the Episcopal Church.Known simply as "Sewanee" by its students, faculty, staff and friends, the University offers an unmatched educational experience. The University remains purposefully small and dedicated to building a sense of community. The University has had 25 Rhodes Scholars--a number that puts Sewanee in the top four nationally among American liberal arts colleges--as well as 26 NCAA Postgraduate Fellows, 36 Watson Fellows, and dozens of Fulbright Scholars, and has an acceptance rate to graduate and professional schools that far outpaces its peers. Sewanee offers 36 majors, 27 minors, and 15 special programs, along with pre-medicine, pre-nursing, pre-law, and pre-business. More than 40 percent of students participate in study-abroad programs, and a comprehensive endowed program that provides financial support for summer internships has greatly strengthened career development for undergraduates.
