First-Year Students

Sweet Briar is a wonderfully exciting educational community. Here, young women from more than 40 states and 19 countries learn, grow and have fun in an environment where students are supported and encouraged to excel, and where faculty and staff members are committed to the success of every student.

While we have a small graduate program in education, our focus is on the undergraduate experience and our mission is to prepare students to be poised for success in whatever they choose to do after graduation. We do this through a customized educational program that combines an academic foundation in the liberal arts, preparation for careers and individual development.
