Southwestern Adventist University
Welcome to SWAU
You may have already figured out our secret.
Students come to Keene, Texas, not for the weather, nor for the football team, nor for parties. They come for a real education.
Students here enjoy personal attention in small classes from real teachers, not teaching assistants. Nobody is lost in the crowd here.
Teachers are here because they believe God called them to this place.
If you choose Southwestern, your life may be changed.
