At the bottom of this page, you will find courses offered in the upcoming term that do not have prerequisites (that is, there are no Sewanee courses that you must complete before taking these courses) and have available seats for first-year students. There are, however, a few things to note:

  • Courses marked with the "(AP/IB)" attribute may be taken by those first-year students who have earned either a 4 or 5 on the AP exam or a 5, 6, or 7 on the IB exam. You are encouraged to select these courses if you have taken the germane AP/IB exams (described on the Registrar’s page) and you have received an official score report.
  • Courses marked with the “(*)” attribute are advanced courses that require special placement by the academic department or program.
  • Courses listed under the "Advanced Foreign Language" category are here for the benefit of those students who placed into the highest level of a foreign language at Sewanee and are given more than one advanced language course from which to choose. Do not include these in your list of twelve courses; indicate your choice in the Foreign Language Placement section above the other course selection drop-down menus.

  • If you would like to take calculus this fall, please select only one of the following courses: MATH 101, MATH 102, or MATH 207. We will determine your calculus placement and choose the best class for you! 

Tips for Completing the Course Selection Form
  • Make sure that you are selecting twelve distinct courses on your Course Selection Form, and that no course appears more than once.
  • Have a look at the disciplines listed in all six drop-down menus. Note that some subjects or courses—particularly interdisciplinary ones—will appear in more than one drop-down menu. (A course may be listed in both Humanities and in Social Sciences, for example.)
  • Make sure to complete the entire form; the more information you provide about your interests and concerns, the more informed the Guides will be when building your schedule.

The Sewanee Pledge
Plan to do something cool. We'll cover the rest.

Sewanee provides funding for an approved summer internship or research fellowship, a semester-long study abroad opportunity at no additional tuition cost, and the ability to graduate with one major in four years. Of course, you will have to do your part. If you meet Sewanee’s academic and social expectations, these opportunities will be provided.

Our Promise to you
Programs of Study
38 Majors, 44 Minors, 15 special programs, & More

Our small classes mean that your voice will be heard, your contribution will be expected, and your opinion will be listened to (and disagreed with, and challenged, and seen from a different perspective, and pushed in a new direction, and considered—and you know what? Maybe we’re both right. See how it works?).

Explore Majors & Minors
Campus Life
Welcome movers, shakers, dreamers, explorers, and soon-to-be lifelong friends.

We're a community where everyone has a place and there's a place for everyone. Group study? We'll bring our notes. Rock climbing? We're geared up and ready. Jam session? Sure, we'll play with you. Whatever you want to do, at Sewanee, you'll never have to go it alone. Unless you need your space. Then, we totally get it.
