We know you are excited about your child’s college search. Are you a little anxious, too? We have compiled a list of topics we think you will find helpful. And, if you can't find what you are looking for, just ask and we will get right back to you.
98 percent of our graduating class are employed, in graduate school, or participating in a fellowship or service commitment within six months of graduation.
It's often the most stressful aspect of the college search. Figuring out how much it's all actually going to cost. See Sewanee's tuition and fees and explore our financial aid offerings including scholarships and grants.
Here you will find information on the typical GPA, test scores, high school curriculum, and more for successful Sewanee applicants. Be sure to read about our test optional policy as well as the importance of demonstrated interest.
Sewanee offers three admission options for first year students: Early Decision, Early Action, and Regular Decision. Each has a different deadline but all use the Common Application.
Sewanee offers 38 majors, 44 minors, 15 special programs, and more. Our small classes mean that your student's voice will be heard, their contribution will be expected.
Campus is open to visitors! We are offering self-guided and guided tours to high school students of all ages in the morning and afternoon. We also offer a variety of virtual visits for anyone who cannot make it to campus.
Ninety-eight percent of Sewanee students live on campus. First-year students live in residence halls while sophomores, juniors, and seniors have additional options like language houses and themed living communities.
Jeff Heitzenrater, Associate Director of Admission, is the parent of a recent Sewanee graduate and a second-year student at another college. Send him a message and hear back from someone who has gone through the college search process twice as a parent.
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.
