What Students are saying about SMU-in-Taos!
"Coming to SMU-in-Taos was the best decision I have ever made in my academic life.  Besides the lessons I’ve learned in class, living in Taos has helped me really understand, perhaps for the first time, what it means to be part of a community."  
-  Lauren Rodgers, SMU Class of 2012

"Spending a semester in Taos was the highlight of my college career. I enjoyed the small class sizes and the beautiful campus in New Mexico. I also enjoyed learning about the Taos culture and their slower pace of life. I always recommend the program to my friends on campus."
-  Garrett Ruoff, SMU Class of 2012
