Excel Above and Beyond Your Game.
At Sweet Briar, athletics is an extension
of your college experience. Our mission is
to promote and complement the College’s
liberal arts focus on empowering and
educating young women to change the
world however their passions lead them.
Find Your PlaceCollege is the first chapter of life you get
to write for yourself. We know you want to
make it count, both on a team and in the
classroom pursuing your major.
Sweet Briar is a college where you create
distinct friendships, where you’re able
to lead, where your voice will be heard,
where you’ll have room to explore and
be ready to change the world when you
graduate.
More than 40 programs of study, a low
student-faculty ratio and a campus that’s
named among the country’s most beautiful
means you’ll find your place.

CompeteDivision III athletics provides a well-rounded collegiate experience that
balances rigorous academics, competitive athletics and the myriad co-
curricular opportunities offered at student-oriented schools such as Sweet
Briar. Over the past three years, Sweet Briar student-athletes have competed
in the NCAA women’s tennis championship and garnered Old Dominion
Athletic Conference Player and Rookie of the Year honors. Vixens are
routinely voted to All-Conference and Honorable Mention teams and our
swim team is a perennial threat to finish in the top three teams at the ODAC
swimming championship meet.
Two-thirds of our Vixen student-athletes have been named to the ODAC
All-Academic team. Three of the last four Sweet Briar Presidential Medal
recipients have been student-athletes. The 2011 Presidential Medal winner
was also awarded a Fulbright Scholarship for academic studies in Turkey.
The Sweet Briar experience prepares you to compete and succeed in both
academics and athletics.
