Learning & Development

The value of learning at SMU isn't just about preparing our students for the future. It's also about preparing ourselves. We hope you'll study the opportunities before you, plan your personal actions and have some fun along the way!

As employees, we are fortunate to have access to a wide variety of professional and personal development opportunities. Although we encourage you to get to know HR's offerings, don't stop there! Other departments on campus offer programs that are quite popular among staff and faculty.  Visit the website for the Office of Information Technology, the Office of Risk Management, Continuing and Professional Education (CAPE), and Cox Executive Education for a variety of offerings including certificate programs.

SMU's individual schools offer a number of popular programs and eligible employees may be able to use tuition benefits toward specific courses of study. Visit the website for each program to learn more about the course offerings and requirements for degree completion.  Many provide excellent part-time programs to meet the needs of the working professional.
