Sewanee students commit themselves to living with honor, which the Honor Code recognizes as “an ideal and an obligation . . . [that] exists in the human spirit and it lives in the relations between human beings.” Our unique intellectual experience depends upon immersive engagement and intellectual relationships, as promoted by our advising system. And we are committed to a vibrant and relevant educational experience as presented in the College Catalog.
Students entering in Advent 2018 or later can take advantage of the Sewanee Pledge, with its opportunity to participate in study away, or to engage in a research fellowship, or to have a paid internship.
Our academic curriculum—the required 128 credit hours—promotes common learning outcomes (our general education curriculum) and in-depth intellectual engagement (the major), with opportunities for focused preparation in various disciplines. Electives offer exploration and further discovery.
Internal & External Opportunities
Everyone needs support, at different times and in different ways. Sewanee is committed to providing resources to help students succeed.
Sewanee celebrates successful students through a variety of ways, many of which include the University’s honor and recognition societies.
The goal isn’t to “step outside of your comfort zone”—it’s to expand that zone. Students can pursue various opportunities, both near and far, that will open new perspectives and push boundaries.
Current and former students may request syllabi via the Google form specifically for this purpose.
