Congratulations!

We welcome all of you who have been admitted to the School of Theology and continue to pray for you as your discernment continues. We've selected you to join our prestigious programs because we value the gifts, talents, and experiences that you would bring to the Sewanee community. When you come to Sewanee, you find its reach extends far beyond the Domain. Students come from near and far, and while here, life-long connections are created. Intentionally worshipping and studying together fosters inclusion, dialogue across differences, and active engagement on the School's campus and beyond.

We want our community to:
  • Develop open minded, informed, and intellectually engaged individuals;
  • Cultivate respectful, inclusive, and enduring relationships;
  • Share responsibility for the well-being of one another and the environment;
  • Strive for justice, equity, and sustainability in Sewanee and in the broader society.

If you're ready to be a part of this community, use the links below to complete your enrollment. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to theologyenrollment@sewanee.edu.

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.
