What's unique about Southwestern University?
Southwestern University
I believe that Southwestern's academic flexibility is one of its greatest assets. 1/3 of of your courses are in your major, 1/3 are in our liberal arts core and 1/3 are electives. Don't know what you want to study?--totally fine and you have plenty of opportunities to explore. Want a double major or two minors? Totally doable due to the 1/3 of the courses being electives. We want you to truly enjoy the learning experinece and explore things that are of interest to you while preparing you for the future.
