Sewanee: The University of the South

Because it's so close to home, I think some students overlook Sewanee, but on a recent visit there, I was reminded just how outstanding this liberal arts college is.  Widely known for it's English department (you can now also earn a certificate in creative writing), Sewanee is also a wonderful place to study environmental and sustainability issues.  In fact, if you are interested in environmental biology or chemistry, environmental journalism, or the environment as it relates to the arts and humanities (you could take a course in geology and literature called "Walking the Land"), this would be a wonderful college for you to consider.  Also new is their Pre-Business program that allows you to earn a degree in the liberal arts with a business minor.  The Babson Center for Global Commere provides summer scholarships to leading business schools, support for business and social entrepreneuship internships, and support from a long line of Sewanee alumni and other business leaders.

From languages to theater to the natural resources to the Green House (a "green" dorm), we were very impressed with all that Sewanee has to offer.  And if you have been reading the news lately, you know that they have reduced their tuition for next year by ten percent!  We encourage you to consider the possibilities!
