U.S. News & World Report has released its annual ranking of the nation's top graduate programs, and the Professional M.B.A. (PMBA) program in SMU's Cox School of Business has moved up three slots from last year to #9 - making it the highest ranked program in Texas. The Cox Executive M.B.A. (EMBA) program is ranked #15, and the Cox full-time M.B.A. tied for #44 with Vanderbilt.
"While these rankings support the overall quality of our programs for full-time students and working professionals, we continue to remain focused on academic excellence," said Cox Dean Al Niemi. "Year after year the bar continues to rise in terms of the quality of a Cox education, and we will stay true to the school's mission by continuing our emphasis on the overall excellence of the program and providing an outstanding experience for our students."
