Sweet Briar College

(Sweet Briar, VA)

Sweet Briar College IS different.

We're only for women. If you ask our students why they chose Sweet Briar, they'll talk about the academics, the beautiful campus, the welcoming community, the opportunities to get involved and to lead. Few, if any, will say they chose Sweet Briar because it's a women's college. Yet, many of our distinctive programs and opportunities are a direct result of our single-gender focus.

By specializing in the education of remarkable women, we're more in tune with you as a student and as a person. We provide leadership opportunities and strong academic programs - in the sciences, math, pre-medicine, pre-veterinary medicine and government for example - that typically cater to men at other schools.

Hi Seema, Thank you for your question. No, Sweet Briar does not offer automotive classes. We do have an excellent engineering program if that might be of interest to you. Please let us know if you would like more information. Take care, Gretchen

Hi Joanna! Glad you are interested in Sweet Briar. Sweet Briar does have an application fee of $40. If you visit campus though, we will be happy to waive the fee. Tuition is the same for in-state and out-of-state students. We try very hard to work with students and families to help make a Sweet Briar education affordable. Hope this helps. Stay in touch! Best, Gretchen
