Study with Intersessions

SMU Intersessions gives students the opportunity to take coursework year around between the Fall and Spring terms, with terms offered in January, May, and June-July. Intersessions courses are a supplement to Fall and Spring coursework, and are helpful to students with multiple majors or minors, or certain majors with heavy coursework. Additionally, Intersessions courses allow students to catch up in coursework if they have gotten behind (helping them graduate in four years), or enable students to graduate early.
