Programs

SMU Abroad continues to closely monitor the status of the COVID-19 pandemic. You will be notified of any change in the status of your study abroad program. Please check your SMU email and the Mustang Strong website for updates.

We ask participants to remain flexible as the situation with COVID-19 is incredibly fluid and unpredictable. Information regarding COVID-19 is constantly evolving, and SMU Abroad may be required at any given time to adjust policies and procedures to best support the health and safety of students. Program participants are personally responsible for meeting and abiding by all safety measures required for international travel and extended stays in foreign countries that may be in place during or after the pandemic. Any participant who fails to meet the required safety measure guidelines (i.e. negative COVID-19 test, proof of vaccination status, etc.) by the deadlines determined by SMU, the program provider, the foreign country, or the designated airline company may be prohibited from participating in the SMU Abroad Program trip.

Short-term, faculty-led programs offer students the opportunity to travel and study abroad under the leadership of SMU faculty members. These programs are offered in January, May, and Summer terms. Students can earn 3, 6, 7, or 8 hours of credit while spending one to eight weeks studying, researching, or interning abroad. All courses are either taught by or approved by SMU faculty.
