A partnership for progress
SMU and Dallas represent a partnership for your progress. Around 36,000 SMU alumni live and work in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Dallas is home to more than 100,000 businesses and about 1,500 regional and corporate headquarters and is consistently ranked as one of the nation’s best locations for its thriving environment for commerce. Because of SMU’s close ties with the community, area companies, and other organizations, students can gain valuable work experience through internships and part-time jobs. Internships are available in a number of fields, including the humanities. In addition, many top executives serve as student mentors and visit campus for lively exchanges of information and ideas.

The SMU Career Center can help you chart your path toward success. Services cover everything from career counseling, assessment, and résumé writing to placement in internships, either paid or unpaid, and some for academic credit. The Career Center hosts a variety of specialized career fairs for business and technology, nonprofit opportunities, advertising, communications, and the liberal arts and sciences. SMU students also have access to job opportunities nationwide, thanks to regular campus visits by companies like American Airlines, Eli Lilly and Company, and the top management accounting firms. And the Office of Alumni Relations offers an Alumni Career Network.
