MASTER OF SCIENCE IN ACCOUNTING (MSA)

The Cox MSA Advantage

What’s the bottom line when it comes to selecting a business school for advanced studies in accounting? At Cox, we believe it’s access to the people and resources that can position you for success—and give you a lasting professional advantage. 

• Networking opportunities. The Cox network distinguishes itself from other business school networks through its global reach and local touch. The worldwide Cox alumni network—more than 30,000 strong—will become one or your most valuable assets. In Dallas, local alumni, corporate partners, and friends of the school participate in speaker series, mentoring programs, career fairs and other activities. You’ll have the opportunity to build relationships with leaders and practitioners from some of the area’s top businesses.
• Strategic location. One of the Cox School’s greatest advantages is our location in the heart of Dallas—a business and cultural hub. While the classroom serves as the core of the Cox MSA program, the educational experience we offer reaches beyond the SMU campus into many of the leading companies in Dallas.
• Small-school environment. Like a handful of business schools around the world, the Cox School brings a world-class faculty together with talented, ambitious students in a small private-school setting. This intimate, collaborative environment allows for close interaction in the classroom and offers students ready access to professors outside the class.
• Career services. The SMU Cox BBA Career Services Office provides MSA students with a broad range of career assistance, including job-search preparation, workshops, information resources, and career-focused special events.
• Business library. The Business Information Center provides students, faculty members, and administrators with technologically advanced library resources, services, and areas for study and interaction.
