Sewanee: The University of the South
An Episcopal University composed of the College of Arts and Sciences and the School of Theology
The University of the South, commonly known as Sewanee, is a private Episcopal liberal arts college in Sewanee, Tennessee. It is owned by 28 southern dioceses of the Episcopal Church and its School of Theology is an official seminary of the church. The university's School of Letters offers graduate degrees in American Literature and Creative Writing. The campus (officially called "The Domain" or "The Mountain") consists of 13,000 acres of scenic mountain property atop the Cumberland Plateau, with the developed portion occupying about 1,000 acres. This land is used for outdoor laboratory and recreation and houses 1,700 undergraduate students. The university remains purposefully small and dedicated to building a sense of community. The result of such individualized education is clear: Sewanee has produced 26 Rhodes Scholars, 49 Watson Fellows, and dozens of Fulbright Scholars.
Sewanee offers 38 majors, 44 minors, 15 special programs, and pre-professional programs in business, health/medicine, education, engineering, and law.
