The Collins Center

September 20, 2018

When the James A. Collins Executive Education Center opened in 2005, it was one of only seven business institutes in the nation designated specifically for executive education. The collective commitment of the Dallas business community, including global powerhouses like EY, helped make the center a reality, and today it is a premier environment for learning, knowledge building and networking that offers innovative custom programs to the city's Fortune 500, as well as serving as home to working professionals in the SMU Cox Executive MBA and Executive Education programs.
