We are offering a variety of admitted student events in addition to what you see above to bring Sewanee to you, virtually. Some events are by invitation only. Feel free to reach out to your admission counselor if you have any questions about these events.
We think it's important you step foot on campus and imagine yourself here. We offer guided and self-guided campus tours as well as virtual campus tours and information sessions.
We'll be posting a series of videos for admitted students and families so that you can hear directly from the people you want to connect with the most—Sewanee students, faculty, and staff. Each Sewanee Session will be posted here so that it can viewed from the comfort of your own home.
Welcome to the Sewanee family! We are excited that your student is considering Sewanee. To prepare for their transition to college (as well as yours), be sure visit these links. See you on the Mountain soon.
PRE offers incoming first year students the opportunity to get to know Sewanee in a unique and exciting atmosphere. While exploring the 13,000-acre Domain, students meet other first-years and upperclassmen in an environment that creates trust and establishes new friendships. Friendships that will last for the next four years and beyond.
Finding Your Place is a program that introduces new students to the Domain, course work, professors, and classmates. By studying place through the lens of a variety of different disciplines, they will come to better understand their new home on the Mountain while also meeting fellow first-years, upperclassmen, and faculty.
At Sewanee, you'll have the opportunity to pursue a program of study or two (or three) in just about any subject you can imagine. From a rigorous business honors program to an English program rooted in a nationally recognized literary tradition to one of the premier collections of environmental offerings in the country.
For those students who know exactly where they want to go in life, Sewanee offers several highly distinctive honors and pre-professional programs including the Carey Fellows Business Program, the Hippocrates Pre-Medical Fellowship, and many more. Each is designed to provide students with the distinct skills and real-world experiences they need to get there.
We get it. Choosing what you want to study can be a bit daunting. That's why Sewanee's liberal arts curriculum encourages students to dip their toes into wide range of disciplines including the humanities, the hard sciences, the arts, and more. You may just end up discovering a new passion that alters your path and changes your life forever.
Have you ever wanted to live in a beautiful, neo-Gothic, sandstone building? Well, maybe you've never thought about it before but now that you have, we're guessing the answer is yes. At Sewanee, that's exactly what you'll do. And in the process, you just might forge the sorts of relationships that will change your life for next four years (and beyond.)
Sewanee, the Domain, the Mountain. Whatever you want to call it, it'll be all yours. It's where you'll read Shakespeare by a meadow in the woods. It's where you'll meet your new best friend while swimming at Lake Cheston. It's where you'll reflect on your aspirations under a starry sky. It's the unrivaled environment we've got right here that will prepare you to connect with the world out there.
From the moment you get on campus, you will have the chance to step up. Whether it's in civic engagement as a Bonner Site Leader, as a member of the Order of the Gown's executive council, or as the director of one of more than 100 student-led organizations. You'll be able to connect with new communities on and around campus as a leader.
The Sewanee Pledge ensures that students will can do more in four years. We guarantee that you will have the opportunity to participate in a fully funded summer internship or research fellowship, to take part in a semester abroad at no additional tuition cost, and to graduate in four years, otherwise the fifth one is on us. All of this to guarantee that when you leave here, you'll have a global perspective and the professional experience you need to go into whatever field calls you.
Whether you know exactly what you want to do after graduation or you're just starting to explore the question, Career Readiness has your back with nationally-ranked career coaching, internship placement services, and alumni networking (yes, we're top ranked in all of those.) It's why we like your chances of success when you leave here. And we think you will too.
Sewanee graduates go on to do big things. From startups to top-tier consulting firms to volunteer programs around the country and the world, the experience they've had right here, shapes their place in the world out there.
