RENOWNED BUSINESS FACULTY

The 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 (AAS). Only seven other U.S. business schools rank in the top 30 in all five categories. In addition to strong research, our faculty has consulted or worked for such companies as Lockheed Martin, Dow Corning, Xerox, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Texas Instruments,General Motors, EDS, Wal-Mart, and Brinker International.

BUSINESS LEADERSHIP CENTER
Employers say that when all other qualities and skills are equal, strong leadership and communications skills are what set certain candidates apart from their competition. In the Cox MSM program, you have access to specialized training in these areas through the Business Leadership Center (BLC). Established in 1992, the BLC today offers more than 60 seminars taught by business practitioners from Fortune 500 companies, medium-size businesses, and entrepreneurial ventures. In addition to presenting traditional seminars on topics such as project management, leading in crisis and change, and strategic communications, the BLC offers individualized training in several areas, including advanced presentation techniques and advanced business writing.

EXECUTIVE MENTORING PROGRAM
The Associate Board, Cox’s executive mentoring program, is one of the most valuable resources offered to Cox graduate students. Through this program, you can capitalize on the school’s close ties with many of Dallas’ leading companies and influential business leaders. You work with your mentor to decide how you want to structure the relationship, how often and where you want to meet, and what you hope to gain from the relationship. More than 220 executive mentors currently participate in the program, representing national and global corporations as well as entrepreneurial ventures in every major industry.

COX ALUMNI NETWORK
Consisting of more than 30,000 alumni around the world, the Cox Alumni Association network is one of the school’s most valuable assets, which you can tap into to develop and sustain lifelong friendships and professional relationships. The Economist magazine recently ranked Cox #7 in the world for breadth of alumni network and #1 among U.S. business schools.
