Education Abroad

TAI students have a number of study abroad opportunities available to them, including SMU-in-London: Communications, a rewarding summer program, and other programs available through the ºÚÁÏÀÏ˾»úAbroad office. Because the B.A. in Advertising coursework is sequential and lock-step, it’s important to plan ahead for studying abroad. Advertising majors can easily study abroad during the interterms (summer, winter). Students interested in studying abroad during a fall or spring term, or for an academic year, are encouraged to do so before starting or after completing the Advertising requirements.
