At SMU Cox, students gain a rigorous knowledge that prepares them for analyst careers in investment banking. In fact, Peak Frameworks recently ranked 30 top universities as target schools for investment banking career-seekers. SMU Cox was 23rd on that list. See the full article here.
The center's main goal is to connect students with professors and industry professionals in ways that create energy and deepen integrity. It was named for an inspirational Cox professor by former student David Miller, MBA '13, who went on to become managing director of EnCap Investments.
The Maguire Energy Institute and Kyle D. Miller Energy Management Program promote the study of policy, marketing and management issues related to oil, natural gas, electricity and renewables.
Each year, a select group of smart, highly-motivated juniors make it into this center's training program. Students get a hands-on foundation in investment banking and hedge fund investing strategies, and connect with industry pros through events and internships.
The Kitt Center is where Cox students get hands-on experience of the trading floor. With its bank of dual-display Bloomberg Professional terminals and workstations, it's designed to integrate financial data and technology into the finance curriculum and boost innovative research.
At the SMU Cox School of Business, our faculty are leading scholars in finance, publishing cutting-edge research in financial market design, corporate governance, tax policy, asset pricing, mergers and acquisitions, institutional investors and many other areas.
