Where art meets life

Welcome to Meadows School of the Arts at SMU
Meadows School of the Arts at SMU is known as one of the nation’s leading arts schools. It brings together dancers, musicians, singers, artists and actors to study side-by-side with future advertising and corporate communications professionals, journalists and cinematographers in a school offering a rich variety of arts studies.

Faculty members at Meadows are world-class performers, authors and journalists who are highly accessible to students and who possess a collective focus on the complete student experience.

Meadows offers students pursuing an education in the performing arts the advantage of a conservatory atmosphere in a liberal arts setting. Unlike traditional conservatory students, most earn a degree rather than a certificate. That means all the world’s a stage when it comes to choosing a career.

SMU’s location gives Meadows students direct access to some of the nation’s greatest arts venues and organizations, including major broadcast and print media, the Dallas Museum of Art, the Dallas Symphony Orchestra and the Dallas Opera; a local gallery scene; and SMU’s own Meadows Museum collection of Spanish art. Communications students benefit from more than 1,500 regional and corporate headquarters and 100,000 businesses in the Dallas area.
