Applying to Sewanee is about as straightforward as it gets. We have no application fee and we are completely test-optional.
We only make one decision when it comes to admission. We admit students who belong at Sewanee. That's why one of our first steps in the admission process is for us to determine fit.
The best way to learn about Sewanee is to visit us. We offer a robust combination of virtual and on-campus visits for prospective students and families. Connect with us today!
At Sewanee, we provide individual attention to each student during the admission process. Your admission counselor is available to you every step of the way.

We believe in the power of diversity to enhance our academic and residential life and to enrich our understanding of the world. We engage our most rigorous thinking when we interact with people whose perspectives differ from our own.

When you become an Arcadian, you are shaping future classes of Sewanee students. The Arcadian Program builds communication and leadership skills, as well as life-long friendships.
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?).
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.
