For nearly two centuries Southwestern University has stood proudly as one of the nation’s oldest and finest liberal arts institutions. Our beautiful, tree-lined residential campus encompasses more than 700 acres featuring spacious sports and recreational facilities, multiple research laboratories, two live-performance theaters, and countless outdoor places to study, relax or socialize. Recognized for our commitment to sustainable, eco-friendly practices, our campus was one of the first in the nation to meet 100 percent of its electric needs from renewable wind power, and since 1972 we’ve nourished our landscapes and athletic fields with recycled water. Throughout campus and in the world beyond our students make meaningful connections across disciplines, cultures, and experiences through our unique Paideia approach—a curriculum that allows to students to chart a course that best suits their passions and life goals as they develop creative, critical thinking skills that make them adaptable to any challenge or opportunity. The results are impressive: less than a year after graduation, 98 percent of Southwestern students are either employed, attending a professional school or pursuing advanced studies. But while you’re at Southwestern you should also know you have the best of all worlds for some good times, whether it’s a relaxing stroll through Georgetown’s historic town square, spending a day on the crystal-clear San Gabriel River, or enjoying an evening reveling in Austin’s live music scene. A bright future begins here, right in the heart of Texas.
