About

Affiliated with the United Methodist Church, Southwestern College is a private liberal arts institution in Winfield, Kansas, renowned for its strong programs in teacher education, nursing, business, and pre-health sciences. Campus life centers on a close-knit, supportive community driven by competitive NAIA athletics, active performing arts, and a campus-wide ethos of servant leadership. The college is especially distinguished by unique, storied traditions, most notably the century-old Moundbuilding Ceremony where incoming students add painted stones to the campus mound to symbolize their place in the "Builder" community.
