While most students only need to apply to SMU, there are five Meadows majors that require both an application and admission to SMU and an application to Meadows along with an audition or portfolio: Art, Dance, Film & Media Arts (B.F.A.), Music and Theatre.
First, check to see if a major is considered a Dual Admission area or a Standard Admission area. Be sure to follow all the admission steps that are specific to that major and for SMU in general.
Students interested in these programs will need to apply to the Meadows School of the Arts by submitting a Meadows application along with a portfolio or audition, in addition to applying to SMU: Art B.A. or B.F.A.; Dance B.F.A. or minor; Film & Media Arts B.F.A.; Music B.M., B.A. or minor; and Theatre B.F.A.
Students interested in these programs only need to apply to SMU and indicate their area of interest on the application: Advertising B.A. or minor; Art History B.A. or minor; Corporate Communication & Public Affairs B.A. or minor; Creative Computation B.A. or minor; Fashion Media B.A.; Film & Media Arts B.A.; Journalism B.A. or minor; and Public Relations & Strategic Communication B.A.
Did you know the cost of college varies from person to person? Depending on your audition or portfolio, academic profile, and family income, you may qualify for an academic scholarship, an artistic scholarship from Meadows, and/or need-based aid from SMU or the U.S. government.
No. Currently, SMU does not require standardized test scores for applicants to be considered for admission or scholarship. Dual admission applicants are also considered for artistic scholarships based on their audition or portfolio, and academic scholarships based on academic information submitted to SMU.
SMU Meadows students talk about planners, pressure and how to keep everything in balance while double majoring.
