I'm interested in hearing about the different majors at Southern Methodist University. Are there any programs that are particularly strong or well-regarded? Any personal experiences or recommendations would be great.
Southern Methodist University (SMU) is quite well-rounded with strong programs across multiple disciplines, so it's helpful to know your area of interest.
SMU's Cox School of Business is frequently ranked among the nation's top undergraduate business programs. It offers majors in areas like Accounting, Finance, Management, Marketing, and more. Here, programs such as BBA Scholars Program offer incoming freshmen exclusive advantages that include scholarship opportunities, early access to faculty, and priority class registration.
The Meadows School of the Arts is another strength of SMU. It has really robust programs in performing, digital, and communication arts, and it is widely recognized for programs in Music, Dance, and Theatre.
The Lyle School of Engineering is also particularly strong, with excellent programs across all major engineering disciplines including Civil, Electrical, Environmental, and Mechanical engineering.
Lastly, the Dedman College of Humanities and Sciences covers a big part of the undergraduate education. It offers a broad range of programs in the sciences and humanities, with notable strengths in areas like Anthropology and English.
You might want to start by exploring these schools and then drilling down into the specific majors they offer. Participation in on-campus events or open houses, and discussions with current students or faculty will also help you zero in on a specific program. I hope this brief overview helps set you in the right direction.
