Sweet Briar’s academic program, at the undergraduate and graduate levels, seeks to cultivate an inclusive and vibrant community of learning among students, faculty, and staff that prizes ethical and innovative thinking. Our curriculum fosters personal and professional development through a liberal arts education. The faculty and staff guide students to understand how justice and sustainability are connected; promote inclusivity, diversity, equity, and access; solve real-world problems across an array of disciplines confidently and creatively; and develop critical analytic and communication skills. Students pursue these goals in the classroom, across the campus community, and around the world.
