After All but Closing, Sweet Briar Will Shift Curriculum and Pricing

Sweet Briar College expects to enroll about 335 students this fall. Its leaders hope that a new pricing plan and a curricular revamp will help bring enrollment to a viable level.  Two years after alumnae filed a lawsuit and raised $12 million in a matter of weeks to keep the tiny institution from closing, Sweet Briar College’s faculty and its new president unveiled ambitious plans Wednesday morning to overhaul the curriculum, calendar, and pricing model.
