• The SMU Core Curriculum is a menu of six carefully selected course units (CUs) to initiate undergraduates into their journey to become holistic SMU graduates.
  • The Core Curriculum also serves as a means for students across all disciplines to bond through a common intellectual experience.
  • It stands on three pillars of learning, or inter-related paths of development: Capabilities, Communities, and Civilisations.
  • Students will complete an internship, either locally or overseas.
  • Students will complete a Global Exposure Experience

    • Happiness & Suffering
    • Wealth & Poverty  
    • War & Peace
    • Global & Local
