Desired Learning Outcomes of SMU-X

SMU established a set of SMU Graduate Learning Outcomes (GLOs) and learning goals that are important to all undergraduates regardless of their discipline. These are: Disciplinary, multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary knowledge; Intellectual and creative skills; Interpersonal skills; Global citizenship; and Personal mastery.

In short, SMU seeks to develop broadly educated individuals, with depth of knowledge in selected domains, and workplace capabilities required to thrive in the 21st century.

These GLOs provide a meta-level for the entire SMU undergraduate experience, delivered through the holistic SMU undergraduate education comprising the Core Curriculum, disciplinary curriculum and co-curriculum components. Collectively, these three components will deliver the full set of the SMU GLOs.
