Business at Sewanee
See yourself right at home with the movers and shakers of the business world? You might be onto something because the next generation of them is inviting you to campus.
At Sewanee, we believe that the best preparation for a career in business is a multidisciplinary liberal arts education. Many of today’s leaders credit their success to the strong foundation in critical thinking, communication, and analytical skills that a liberal arts education provides.
The Babson Center for Global Commerce invites prospective students each fall to spend a day on campus exploring our business program. During the event, students get the chance to meet our Carey Fellows, the honors students in our business program, and see how Sewanee’s approach can set them on the path to the C-Suite. Prospective students also get to experience our business curriculum through a mock class, engage with current students over lunch, and hear directly from our faculty and alumni.
Register here for our February 20 Business at Sewanee event!
