The Edwin L. Cox Business Leadership Center (BLC) provides Cox MBA students the opportunity to develop effective leadership skills through practical applications that are fundamental in the world of business. Today’s competitive marketplace requires managers to not only exhibit technical and individual success, but also a high degree of personal and professional leadership. Through program offerings, Cox MBA students learn important fundamentals among seven areas of emphasis: communication skills, customer innovation, interpersonal relations, managerial leadership, personal development, productive leadership, and team dynamics. The skills complement the curriculum at the SMU Cox School of Business.
While management education traditionally focuses on classroom teachings, textbooks, and case studies, the Business Leadership Center is designed to meet today’s challenges by offering exceptional leadership development programs for Cox graduate students. While difficult to measure in traditional academic terms, students learn and practice fundamental applied skills through the Business Leadership Center (BLC) that are invaluable to their personal and professional future success.
