The SMU Board of Trustees voted at its December meeting to unanimously approve the new Online MBA, which will help equip graduates to handle unstructured problems via data analytics, team building and experiential learning.

“Offering an Online MBA will help SMU Cox expand access to our one-of-a-kind institution; we are very excited to bring our data-centric ideology to a wider audience of business professionals,” Cox School of Business Dean Matthew Myers said. It is our goal to "ultimately build an incredible program that matches our on-ground offerings.”
