What I Like About SMU
Our current students like SMU for many
& varied reasons. Discover what they are
& why your student might like us, too.

A Great Academic Value
Studies show small, Catholic colleges
have higher student satisfaction than
larger schools. We're a prime example.

Small Class Sizes
Find out how a small student-to-teacher
ratio will benefit your child. SMU's 12:1
is impressive & studies back that up.

higher ed rankings & polls. This year we
added one more to the list: Forbes!

admission (and scholarships AND financial

your student.
