At SMU Cox, we take your success personally. As your MSM journey unfolds, we help you transform yourself and your career. Count on tailor-made support — from small classes led by top-ranked faculty who take a personal interest in your future, to a hands-on career center and a tight-knit global alumni community that's waiting for you to reach out. We'll open doors to the boardrooms of Dallas, turning this booming city into your testing ground and classroom-at-large. At Cox, you'll earn more than an MSM: You'll build a career path and forge connections that will last a lifetime.

Faculty: Learn From The Best

We don't just teach business — we're immersed in it. The Economist magazine ranks SMU Cox #7 in the world for faculty quality. When they’re not honing your management skills, your professors are consulting for Fortune 500s, publishing books and research, running their own businesses and serving in government. An intimate learning environment and a calendar full of networking events make it easy for you to build one-on-one relationships with the academics and professionals who are invested in your future.

Pursuing your Master's of Science in Management at SMU Cox prepares you for your next move. Future companies in your career trajectory recognize the value of a graduate degree in management. As well, the degree paired with the many career enhancing offerings (referenced below) shapes you to join a network of 42,000 alumni and counting.

Create Your Career Path: The Career Management Center

As your world expands through Cox, the CMC goes to work for you. The staff's main purpose is to give you the advice and resources you'll need to pursue and build your ideal career — before, during and after your MSM studies.

Students who have completed the Masters of Science in Management curriculum will be armed with a strong business foundation that will help to transform their resume into a more marketable and diversified set of experiences. MSM graduates will increase their personal earning potential and gain access to job opportunities and career tracks that are reserved for students who hold advanced degrees.

The Cox Career Management Center provides you with services and opportunities to enhance your employment marketability. The small size of each entering class also means that we will work closely with you to develop a career management strategy that fits your unique abilities and professional goals.

Grow As A Leader

You can't learn leadership from a textbook — you need first-hand experience. That’s why the Cox Business Leadership Center develops your management acumen through immersive off-campus seminar experiences, plus seminars and roundtables that will broaden your horizons and sharpen your skills in leadership and communication — critical skills not always covered in an MS curriculum but valued by corporate recruiters. Engage your studies in real-world application and get ready for the road ahead.
