SMU's Interactive Pedagogy
100% of all SMU classes are small, seminar style classes – with no more than 45 students in every class.
Our signature U-shaped seminar rooms help to facilitate a continuous 2-way interaction between professor and students. Through group discussions in class, you will also get to learn from fellow peers who come from various backgrounds and bring with them different perspectives.
Learn to speak up and voice your views with class participation - a key element in every SMU class. Along the way, you'll become a better and more effective communicator!
Be Taught By World-Class Professors
Students at SMU are taught by professors who are top in their various fields.
In fact, a global study by Stanford University has identified 17 SMU researchers as among the top scientists in the world.
Their fields of research span the management of innovation, econometrics, urban geography, behavioural science, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and mobile computing.
