SMU Cox and Caruth Rankings

Since its founding more than three decades ago, SMU Cox and the Caruth Institute have garnered local, national, and international recognition.

• In 2005, Entrepreneur magazine ranked the Caruth Institute #5 among the top 100 entrepreneurship programs in the nation, as ranked by program directors, faculty, and alumni.
• In the 2003 BusinessWeek ranking of the top 25 Executive MBA programs in the world, SMU Cox was listed #1 among entrepreneurship course offerings.
• The SMU Cox faculty is ranked among the top 30 business schools in the world for research productivity in economics, finance, information systems, marketing and strategy, according to a recent study by Academic Assessment Services (ASS). Only six other schools rank in the top 30 in all five categories: Harvard, Stanford, University of Chicago, MIT, NYU, and UCLA.

The 2005 Fiske Guide to Colleges commends the Cox School’s strong ties with the Dallas business community, claiming, “SMU is all but the official alma mater of the Dallas business and professional elite.”
