The Online MBA, is a cohort-based, face-to-face program ideal for individuals who want to build or transition their career in the fields of Marketing, Entrepreneurship, Finance or Information Technology, among other business disciplines. The SMU Cox Online MBA will focus on three pillars of excellence: Leadership, Analytics, & Experiential Learning.
The curriculum format is 100% online, with a strong emphasis on experiential learning. The learning environment is interactive and students will get an in-person MBA, face-to-face with faculty and classmates, simply administered in a virtual classroom.
Classes are orchestrated with both synchronous and asynchronous components. Whether completing independent deliverables, or participating in live breakout sessions, students in the SMU Cox Online MBA will benefit from the best of both – the flexibility they need, without sacrificing the high level of in-person engagement they want. Designed to accommodate the needs of a working professional, the synchronous portions of class will meet for about 90 minutes each week, in the evenings.
Candidates who demonstrate analytical capabilities, leadership experience, interpersonal and communication skills and personal commitment and motivation are invited to apply.
