The University of the South is private, coeducational institution in Sewanee, Tennessee, 58 km (36 mi) west of Chattanooga. The school is owned and governed by the 28 Episcopal dioceses of the southeastern United States. Popularly known as Sewanee, the university was founded in 1857 but its planned opening was delayed by the onset of the Civil War, the university successfully opened its doors in 1868.

Sewanee is comprised of the College of Arts and Sciences and the School of Theology. The university confers bachelor's, master's, doctoral, and professional degrees in a broad range of fields. Course programs leading to the bachelor of arts degree include traditional liberal arts, Russian studies, performing arts, library science, social sciences, natural sciences, and the natural resources program, which offers instruction in natural resources, geology, and forestry.

The university also offers an engineering program called 3/2, which consists of three years of study at the university followed by two years of study at one of several other schools. Students may earn a bachelor's degree from the University of the South and a bachelor's or master's degree in engineering, depending on how many credits are earned, from Columbia University, the Georgia Institute of Technology, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Vanderbilt University, or Washington University.

The School of Theology offers an Anglican studies program; a licentiate in theology; master's degrees in arts and theology, divinity, and sacred theology; and a doctoral degree in ministry.
