The School of Theology is the graduate program
of the University of the South, sharing the 10,000-acre campus
of rolling woodlands with 1,300 undergraduate students.
The School of Theology is an intentionally small community
about 106 students in residence and 16 faculty and 15 adjunct.
Students come to Sewanee to be part of an intimate, Christian
community in a setting of incredible beauty, that educates
and forms them to lead worshipping communities and be missionaries
to the modern world. Each year provides unique opportunities,
beyond academics and scheduled worship, to define that experience.
One of the outstanding features of Sewanee is the community
which, year after year, nurtures, challenges, welcomes and
supports those who flow in and out of its midst. The seminary
community offers an exciting array of activities and organizations
to incorporate seminarians, spouses and families. Retreats,
quiet days, community Eucharists, dinners and lunches, parties
and special interest organizations provide opportunities
for fellowship, recreation and spiritual and intellectual
growth.
The town of Sewanee, about 2,500 people, provides the amenities
of a small town, like 2 gourmet coffee shops, hair salons,
gift shop, Barnes and Noble bookstore, 2 public parks while
nearby Chattanooga and Nashville offer the opportunities
of the city.
The University's crowded calendar of performing arts programs,
film series, and gallery exhibits feature frequent cultural
opportunities while the beautiful surroundings beckon students
to hours of biking, hiking, camping, canoeing, caving or
rock climbing.
All University facilities are available to School of Theology
students and families, including a nine hole golf course,
state-of -the-art Fowler Health and Fitness Center, tennis
courts and equestrian center. The Tennessee Williams Theater
Center offers unique theater for all.

Housing - The
seminary offers students with families a range of comfortable
University-owned homes throughout the mountain. Single
students are not required to live in dormitories
but may live in their own apartments, duplexes, or houses,
often finding their neighbors new junior faculty members
at the college. All university housing is in walking
distance of the school. Some students purchase homes
on campus or in the area.
