Created an account just to clear up some misinformation. I am a Lyle professor and an academic advisor. The Lyle School of Engineering is NOT direct admit, like Cox or Meadows. You are admitted as a pre-engineering major, then once you complete a subset of classes/requirements you can officially declare your Lyle major.

Students from outside Lyle can also declare a Lyle major, even if they are not a pre-engineering major. For example, we have MANY students who start as statistics or economics who declare a Lyle major once they have completed the subset classes.

Cox and Meadows, on the other hand, ARE direct admit, meaning that in order to pursue a Cox degree, you have to be admitted prior to your freshman year. You can’t change majors into Cox or Meadows once you’ve started at SMU, like you can in Lyle.

I am happy to answer any questions you all might have about SMU, academics, advising, etc.
