What exactly is a “liberal arts” curriculum?
The liberal arts disciplines include the humanities, the natural and the mathematical sciences, and the social sciences. With a foundation in the liberal arts, the SMU student gets a complete education – as a professional in a chosen career, a citizen in the world of ideas, and a full-fledged participant in life itself. SMU’s general requirements in the liberal arts (the General Education Curriculum) provide students with an exceptional educational opportunity.
