The South Manila Inter-Institutional Consortium (SMI-IC), established in 1974 to be an instrument for the maximization of institutional resources through the sharing and cooperation of universities and colleges in the South Manila area, is the oldest academic consortium in the Philippines.

SMI-IC envisions a nation transformed through education. Its mission is to organize a group of higher education institutions actively collaborating to effect social transformation by promoting the cause of education. This is to be achieved by making quality and relevant learning accessible to as many as possible. SMI-IC aims not just to prepare graduates to be professionally competent but also to inculcate in them humanist and holistic values centered and rooted in Christ.

With the theme "Pagbubuklod ng Isang Dosenang Institusyon Tungo sa Makabuluhang Edukasyon", the twelve (12) member schools, namely: Adamson University (AdU), De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde (DLS-CSB), De La Salle Univerity (DLSU), Emilio Aguinaldo Colleg (EAC), Philippine Women's University (PWU), Lyceum of the Philippines University (LPU), University of the Philippines-Manila (UPM), Philippine Christian University (PCU), Philippine Normal University (PNU), St. Scholastica's College (SSC), St. Paul University-Manila (SPUM), and Technological University of the Philippines (TUP) will celebrate its 32nd foundation with a Fair on February 16-18, 2007 at The Music Hall of Mall of Asia.
