What are good reasons for wanting to get an MBA at SMU?
I would say wanting the opportunity to learn in one of the strongest business communities in the U.S. Dallas is still feeling pretty good when it comes to the economy. We have a diverse mix of types and sizes of companies and try in a variety of ways in the program to engage students in the business community. It’s not just theory; you’re getting the chance to work on projects through companies. I think Dallas is a very different type of community . People overlook Dallas as being one of the top business communities in the U.S. and the world. They’d be surprised if they looked at what’s offered and saw how we as a program engage students with the business community as much as we can. Another reason is that we’re one of few programs that requires students to have an international experience and pays for it. We have a special program called the American Airlines Global Leadership Program where we send all students overseas at the end of their first year for two weeks for a business trip.
