About the Program

Students interested in applying to an international non-SMCM program of any type – short-term, long-term, internship – must submit a Non-SMCM Program Proposal Form prior to beginning their application for a non-SMCM program.

Non-SMCM Program Proposal Form

Proposals may be turned in to the Office of International Education, or e-mailed to ie@smcm.edu. Any submission must include your Academic Advisor’s signature. The following are the term deadlines, but please do submit a proposal form as soon as possible, to allow time for risk assessment and to meet your proposed program application deadlines.

All students going on a semester-long non-SMCM program will be charged a $350 fee to hold their place at SMCM and cover additional support costs.
