The Sewall Residential Academic Program is a coeducational program for first-year students enrolled in the College of Arts and Sciences who wish to have the advantage of the small liberal arts college experience within the broader resources of the large research university. With courses in history, literature, biology, and economics, Sewall classes provide a unique living and learning environment. In addition, with its close connection to the Center of the American West, this program provides a variety of co-curricular activities that enhance students' understanding of the contemporary Western American experience.
Residents must take one three-credit Sewall course each semester. Participation in the academic program is mandatory for Sewall residents. Sewall's smart, seminar-style classes foster analytical thought through intensive reading, discussion, and written expression and all courses require active student participation. Students who desire a strong foundation in the liberal arts are encouraged to choose Sewall as their residence hall.
