Social Innovation and Nonprofit Engagement Concentration

The concentration in Social Innovation and Nonprofit Engagement is jointly based in SMU’s Meadows School of the Arts and Perkins School of Theology. It is a fifteen credit hour interdisciplinary graduate-level concentration with the Meadows Department of Corporate Communication and Public Affairs that educates students to apply intellectual rigor and integrity to communication theory and practice research, strategy, consulting, and advocacy in light of critical theological inquiry. Students registered in the concentration will plan their academic program with the concentration adviser, the Perkins Registrar, and/or the Perkins academic dean. This planning will project needed seats for Perkins students in CCPA course options. Perkins’ students will have seats in required and elective courses through the planning process or upon notification from the Perkins Registrar and/or Associate Dean of Academic Affairs on or before the registration period.
