Visit us at: letters.sewanee.edu

The Sewanee School of Letters is a graduate summer program of the College of Arts and Sciences. Students normally enroll in two courses per summer term for four years and then complete a thesis project. Students who wish to satisfy program requirements more quickly may enroll in online School of Letters courses when they are offered in the Advent or Easter semesters.

Administrative oversight of the program is provided by the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, under whose authority the program operates. The Dean appoints the program’s director and faculty and is assisted in overseeing the program by a standing School of Letters Committee, chaired by the Director of the School of Letters and consisting of the Chair of the Department of English, Director of the Teacher Education program, an Associate Dean of the College, and two faculty members elected by the College Faculty.
