SMU-in-Taos
SMU’s 423-acre campus in Northern New Mexico is located at historic Fort Burgwin. This unique SMU option provides an experiential living-learning experience that fosters academic and personal growth. Students can fulfill major, minor, UC or CC requirements during a variety of summer and winter terms. Diverse course offerings allow students of nearly all majors to participate.
The Taos campus offers several terms ranging from two to four weeks in January, May, June and August.
Enrollment is typically available during the fall or spring term immediately preceding the Taos term. Enrollment must be approved by the SMU-in-Taos Office, located at 338 Blanton Student Services Building, 6185 Airline Road.
The SMU-in-Taos program offers the same undergraduate tuition rate as the main campus. Students attending SMU-in-Taos will pay room and board rates that are competitive with those on the main campus in Dallas. Existing SMU scholarships and financial aid apply to Taos tuition at a prorated amount. Students seeking further assistance can also apply for the Friends of Taos scholarship.

SMU offers students opportunities to take additional courses in a smaller class setting during the winter and summer breaks. In Jan Term, students complete one course in just 8 class days; in May Term students complete one course in just 11 days. The June and July intersessions are either 11 class days or 22 class days in length. Some online courses are also available in Jan Term and in the summer, each approximately one month in duration. A few courses run all summer long in a Combined 10-week session. Students may take up to 14 credit hours during the summer term, but should not participate in more than 7 credit hours in June and 7 in July.
Whether the goal is to get ahead of the curve, explore new interests, or stay on track for graduation, Intersessions let students customize their experience and make the most of their time at SMU. Some 70 courses in a variety of subjects are offered during each of the January and May intersessions, and more than 200 courses are offered over the June and July sessions. Courses fulfill University Curriculum (UC)/ Common Curriculum (CC), major, minor, or elective requirements. Any SMU student is eligible to enroll in Intersessions through my.SMU. It may also be possible for non-SMU students to attend intersession courses after being admitted as visiting students.
Intersessions tuition comes at an additional cost to Fall/Spring. No general student fees are assessed for Intersessions, though course-specific costs such as lab/studio fees or travel/accommodation fees may be associated with some courses. Most SMU merit-based and need-based financial aid is available in pro-rated amounts. Federal and state funds are not available for Jan Term but may be available for Summer if a student maintains enrollment in 6 or more credit hours. SMU students should consult with their financial aid advisor for assistance regarding applicable financial assistance.
Students living in SMU Residential Commons in both fall and spring terms who wish to remain on campus during Jan Term may stay in their current room at no additional charge. Students in residence and staying for May Term are eligible for on-campus housing by application, but those accepted will be moved to a single May Term commons and additional charges will apply. On-campus housing is available to any student attending June and July by application, space permitting; additional housing charges will apply. All housing arrangements and fees are administered by SMU Residence Life and Student Housing (RLSH) and SMU Dining Services.
