Deadlines

All materials should be submitted prior to the application deadlines.

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS—FEBRUARY 1

Studying at the School of Theology is a wonderful opportunity for international students to experience another part of the Anglican Communion. Making arrangements to spend one or two years out of the country can take time, so all international students for all degree programs must have complete applications submitted by February 1st.

EARLY ACTION—JANUARY 1 & MARCH 1

For students who realize that Sewanee is the choice for them, there’s no better option than Early Action. With completed financial aid profiles, applicants will receive their admission decision and financial aid package by Jan/Mar. 15. Why wait?

REGULAR DECISION—APRIL 1

For students who need just a little bit more time, or are maybe waiting on admission decisions from other schools, the Regular Decision deadline is your last chance to apply for admission to the School of Theology. Regular Decision applicants are fully eligible for financial aid and scholarship considerations and will receive their admission decisions by April 15th.

In addition, an official interview is required for admission. You can read more about the requirements here.

Live Together In Unity

Commitment To Diversity

What does it mean to be the University of the South? The answer to that question changes from one generation to the next and from one individual to the next. Being “of the South” means that we are both the beneficiaries and the critics of a rich tradition. While we are deeply invested in this region, we also engage with other communities, locally and globally. Diversity and variety—of the South and of the world—inform and underpin our institution, and all our community’s citizens must confront this question on some level.

Inclusive Language Policy

Language matters. It shapes our sense of reality, and is therefore crucial for our understanding of God and others. Through language we forge and maintain our relationships with God and one another.

THE ROBERSON PROJECT ON SLAVERY, RACE, AND RECONCILIATION

The Roberson Project on Slavery, Race, and Reconciliation at the University of the South is a six-year initiative investigating the university’s historical entanglements with slavery and slavery’s legacies. Our Project’s name memorializes the late Professor of History, Houston Bryan Roberson, who was the first tenured African American faculty member at Sewanee and the first to make African American history and culture the focus of their teaching and scholarship.
