Established in 2022, the College of Integrative Studies is SMU’s seventh School and plays a pivotal role in helping students traverse the disciplinary areas associated with the other SMU Schools – Accountancy, Business, Economics, Computing, Law and Social Sciences. The CIS is different in that it emphasises the importance of integrating ideas and perspectives across disciplines to derive new solutions in areas related to SMU’s Strategic Priorities. Its faculty members research on topics such as Computer Science, Economics, Environmental History, Geography, Law, and Urban Climate, amongst others. The College seeks to cultivate an environment conducive to intellectual exploration across academic disciplines and to bring their distinct disciplinary perspectives together to address modern challenges in today’s complex world.
