Our 1,300 students have a passion for intellectual and personal growth, enjoy small classes and stimulating interactions with our faculty of teacher-scholars who reflect our core values. Southwestern is a private, highly selective liberal arts institution encompassing the Brown College of Arts and Sciences and the Sarofim School of Fine Arts.
