Founded in 1911 by what is now The United Methodist Church, Southern Methodist University (SMU) is nonsectarian in its teaching and committed to academic freedom and open inquiry. A private university, SMU cultivates well-rounded leaders and thinkers through a liberal arts foundation and nationally competitive undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs. SMU offers seven degree-granting schools - including the nationally acclaimed Cox School of Business and Dedman School of Law - and is consistently ranked in the top half of national universities, according to America's Best Colleges guide.
