Drawing on a mix of foundational classes (Fundamentals of Finance, Micro/Macro Economics) and more specialized courses (Global Business Strategy and Master Negotiation), the Cox Online MBA curriculum is designed to cement the basics of business while simultaneously providing students a competitive advantage through advanced course offerings. Meanwhile, the curriculum of the three-year MBA Direct for early career professionals aims to offer the same, robust learning while allowing more time for students to complete the degree and gain necessary work experience to be competitive for MBA level roles.

Our Students Shape Our Programs

Students are at the heart of everything that we do at the Cox School of Business, and no two MBA candidates are identical. Our students are innovators and entrepreneurs. They have served in the military, traveled the world, started businesses, and cultivated life experiences that are as unique as they are. Each student brings a different story to the table, but every student is striving to make an impact with an MBA from SMU Cox. Interested in learning more about our MBA candidates individually?
