SMU Abroad

SMU Abroad provides you with the opportunity to engage in an academic and cultural immersion in a country other than your own. The benefits you gain broaden your global understanding and prepare you to actively participate as a citizen of the world.  In other words, study abroad helps you to "Get World Ready."

Thank you for your interest in SMU Abroad programs and for supporting your student in this important experience. The educational value of studying internationally is tremendous. Immersion in another culture can also be complex; usually exciting, but sometimes posing real challenges. Southern Methodist University appreciates the important role that parents, family, and friends play in supporting our students abroad.
