Educational Experience

SMU Cox accepts a GMAT, GRE, or Executive Assessment score taken within the last 5 years. We do not have a preference. We suggest looking at the tests and taking a few practice ones to determine which you prefer before taking that exam.

The Cox MBA Admissions Committee requires applicants to submit two references that can be contacted to provide insight into your leadership skills, professional development and why you would be a great addition to the Cox community.
Once your PMBA application is completed, submitted, and reviewed, the MBA Admissions Committee will issue you an interview invitation if you have satisfied all the requirements.

Work experience

The average Cox PMBA candidate has an average of 5-8 years of full-time post-undergraduate work experience. We strongly recommend you accurately highlight your key accomplishments in your resume.
