Southern Methodist University Information
The Southern Methodist University, Dallas, TX, abbreviated as SMU, is a privately-owned university located in Dallas, Texas.
It is owned and run by the United Methodist Church’s South Central Jurisdiction. The university also has campuses in Taos, New Mexico and University Park, Plano.
SMU was chartered in 1911 by the Texan United Methodist Church’s five Annual Conferences, the church’s regional bodies. The initial plan was for classes to start in 1913 but, due to some constitutional delays, classes began in 1915. Southern Methodist University was created because of the failure to move Southwestern University to Dallas. The Methodist Church’s General Conference took an interest in the establishment of a new university. Its officials therefore took the necessary efforts for SMU to be created.
