SMC University's Academic Learning Model

The Holistic Perspective Of The Model

SMC supports students in their quest to become scholars and practitioners who make a real difference in the world. In achieving this, each student examines theoretical perspectives in the fields of business and economics through personal and academic reflection and engagement to create practical applications that can influence life processes for the present and future. 

Guided in their introspection by their individual mentors, students examine and discern the value and influence of varying forms of power: legitimate, expert, reference, informational and reward power to inform and propel the use of knowledge.

Students balance theory and practical application of new knowledge, using critical, analytical and reflective thought and action to embrace change and newness in their lives, work, and interactions with people on a daily basis.
