Strategic Location
One of the Cox School’s greatest advantages is our location in the heart of Dallas. Since the school was founded in 1920, Cox has forged strong relationships with the area’s leading companies and most influential business leaders. Today, Dallas is a business, technology, and cultural powerhouse with a strong, diverse economy and a high quality of life. The city’s central location and transportation infrastructure make it a hub for national and international business. And its cultural, athletic, and entertainment offerings are practically limitless.
As the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex has grown and thrived, SMU Cox has strengthened our local relationships while expanding our perspective on business. As a result, the school today is a globally recognized business institution offering unique academic programs that connect our students with the world of business.
While the classroom serves as the core of a Cox education, the educational experience we offer reaches beyond the SMU campus into many of the leading companies in Dallas. Through an executive mentoring program, speaker series, and alumni networking events, Cox provides convenient access to business leaders with insights and connections that can help you achieve your professional goals.
