Teacher, scholar, expert, allyAs a college and as a community, Sweet Briar genuinely values learning.Faculty members never view scholarship as something exclusively forstudents; its a collaborative endeavor among individuals with shared interests.No pedestals here. Professor-student relationships at Sweet Briar are markedby mutual interest, respect and trust. And these connections o en grow deeperin the years a er graduation.
Faculty accomplishments range from award-winning novels and leadingbiological research to archaeological digs in Kazakhstan and Turkey towriting textbooks in their areas of expertise. Ninety- ve percent of them holddoctorates or terminal degrees. About half live right on campus. The best part:each one wants you to achieve.

The Sweet Briar promiseThe Sweet Briar promise is a commitment to six core initiatives that integratepersonalized scholarship.
Customizable majors to t yourgoals and interestsIn addition to o ering more than 40 areas of study, youre able to formallycustomize a major with a one-of-a-kind course of study. Sound daunting?No worries: Professors guide you through the process and o en even suggestit if they think it will bene t you in the short and long term.
Advising teams guiding you through lifeat Sweet BriarHere, advising goes beyond assistance in choosing courses to meet a degreerequirement. Draw on the knowledge of faculty, professional sta and alumnaethat you select for career-related recommendations and real-world insights.
Research opportunities with facultyEach year, rst-years and upperclasswomen conduct original research undera faculty members guidance. Students regularly publish their ndingsand present at national conferences, including the Mid-Atlantic RegionalConference of Undergraduate Scholarship held at Sweet Briar. Frominvestigating the causes of dying sea coral to an insurgency in Oman, fromDNA ngerprinting to drama and rhetoric in ancient Rome, from studying thecampus resident colony of 100-plus live sharks to using the landscape of theCollege as a wetlands and wildlife laboratory, the choices for exploration are asdiverse as the students undertaking them.
