The PMBA program focuses on:

Flexible curriculum designed to fit your needs

SMU Cox is one of a select group of business schools that offers you concentrations within an MBA Program. Whether finance or marketing, strategy or entrepreneurship, operations or information technology, or other areas of concentration, the PMBA gives you the flexibility to concentrate in at least one subject area of your choice. Rather than a rigid, fixed curriculum, you will take 14 or more elective courses in your chosen area of concentration. Not only will you have a solid foundation in business fundamentals, but you’ll gain deep expertise in your chosen functional areas.
