Dear Students,

Welcome to Saint Monica University! We're pleased to have you here and to provide you with this important document.

The Academic Catolog of Saint Monica University (SMU) is an annual publication of the University. It contains academic policies as well as details about all programs offered by the institution.

Our 2015/16 Academic Catalog like the previous one reflects the marriage of liberal education and career-focused programs that form the unique character of the University. We offer a compulsory General Education that every student must take in order to graduate with an SMU bachelor's degree. In addition to the General Education component of the curriculum, which covers a third of the program, every student must then complete specialized ccurrilum in their chosen fields.

As you will notice, not all certificate and degree programs offered by SMU are listed in this catalog. This is because some of the programs offered are provided by our partner universities. If the program you're taking or plan to take is not listed in this edition of our Academic Catalog, do contact the Academic Affairs Office or the Admissions Office and someone will provide you the details of your intented program.

We can assure you that you have selected the best university to meet your needs. We won't dissapoint you.
