We want everyone to feel at home here. And we mean everyone. From faculty and courses to organizations and resources, we are here to give you the most inclusive experience possible.
We are committed to offering courses that will expose our students to a variety of subjects, eras, cultures, and belief systems. If you are up for a challenge–and we expect you are–here is a small sampling of classes you might consider taking while here.
We believe there's beauty in diversity, and at Sewanee, we strive to make our campus meaningfully intercultural. No matter your niche, we are sure to offer an organization where you'll feel right at home. Check out a few of these wonderful organizations—maybe they're your new family.
In the Admissions office, we understand that we are on the front lines of your Sewanee experience. We want you to feel at home here. That's why we've created an environment of inclusion and camaraderie. We are committed to your academic and personal success.
Just as Sewanee prepares its students for real-world experience in the workplace, we must also prepare them for immersion into workplaces filled with cultural and ideological differences. Our faculty is a reflection of that.
Faith and community are vibrant aspects of life on the Domain. We invite you to bring your own faith and ask questions—but we won't pressure you to do either. There is a richness in diversity, and we acknowledge that belief by offering a variety of faith-based service opportunities—no matter where you may be on your faith journey.
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 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?).
A visit to the Domain (it's what we call our 13,000-acre campus) is the best way to determine if Sewanee is a good fit for you. Once you set foot on campus, spend time with our students and professors, or take a stroll through Abbo's Alley, we are confident that Sewanee will find its way into your heart.
