I achieved my goal of transitioning from the public sector to management consulting and now corporate finance in large part due the quality of education and people associated with SMU Cox. The rigor of study, the quality of my fellow students, and the caliber of the professors, created the perfect learning environment for me to excel and to achieve my goals. It is truly amazing how 21 months at SMU Cox changed my life and set my career on an even higher trajectory.

After Cox: MBA Success Stories

  • Jen Delaney, Two Year MBA 2018

    PwC - Senior Associate, M&A Advisory

    How do you sum up a two-year experience that pushed you out of your comfort zone and challenged you on every spectrum imaginable? SMU Cox was a whirlwind of classes, new faces, coffee, and late nights. What made it the most memorable in the chaos of diving back into academia, were the people. Working on cases and drawing on every inch of the whiteboard with one or two close friends until the building shut down for the night. Traveling to foreign countries with people you just met – and coming back with incredible stories. What made SMU Cox so memorable to me is exactly what made the experience so valuable, the people. You put 120 odd folks together for two years and in the end, you have a family.

    Deloitte – Consultant, Finance

    SMU Cox was a turning point both in my career and in my personal life. It enabled me to acquire the new skills I was seeking and empowered me to land the job I wanted. In complement to that, I learned so many things about myself and grew a lot as a father, a husband, a colleague, and a friend. My time at SMU Cox was one of the most enriching experiences of my life, and I am very proud of my involvement with the community through clubs and case competitions, which make those two years even more memorable.

    My experience at SMU Cox was incredible! I received my BBA from SMU Cox as well, so being able to come back 7 years later to experience it again, at a higher level, was amazing. I love SMU more than words can express, and wish that everyone could look back and say they had a great experience at both an undergrad, and graduate level. The network and people that I have met throughout the years in every city that I have every traveled to or lived in is invaluable. I know that no matter where I go, or what company I work for, there will always be an SMU Pony there who will be an immediate friend and/or helping hand. We Cox Alumna are everywhere, and am beyond proud to be a "double Cox pony"!!
