Cox School of Business<\/p><\/div>\n

Corporate connections are a major selling point at the\u00a0<\/strong>Southern Methodist University (SMU) Cox School of Business<\/strong><\/a>. Located in the Dallas\u2013Fort Worth Metroplex,\u00a0the school offers its MBA students\u00a0access to a large network of corporate representatives and recruiters\u2014from the 22 Fortune 500 companies with headquarters in the area to a global university alumni base of nearly 127,000. One highlight of the networking resources Cox provides is its Alumni Association, which has members in more than 40 countries.\u00a0The Economist\u00a0<\/em>ranked Cox\u2019s small, collaborative program sixth for \u201cpotential to network\u201d in 2019 (the latest such ranking). In addition,\u00a0Entrepreneur<\/em>\u00a0magazine has ranked business-friendly Dallas second among U.S. cities for entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n

With 18 Fortune 500 companies located nearby\u2014including UnitedHealth Group, Target, and U.S. Bancorp\u2014the\u00a0University of Minnesota (UMN) Carlson School of Management<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0also boasts a robust network of corporate ties and high-profile recruiting opportunities. In addition, Carlson prepares its students with a pronounced hands-on approach to building leadership, management, and problem-solving skills.<\/p>\n

Among the school\u2019s more distinctive offerings, Carlson\u2019s four Enterprise programs expose students to the areas of brand, consulting, funds, and ventures. The Enterprise learning experience is rather unique insofar as it operates as a full professional services firm, serving multiple clients and allowing students to work through real-world business challenges with senior management at major companies. In the Brand Enterprise program, for example, Carlson students have developed key marketing strategies for such brands as Cargill, Boston Scientific, Target, 3M, General Mills, and Land O\u2019Lakes. Students in the Consulting Enterprise program have offered services to such companies as Best Buy, Northwest Airlines Cargo, Medtronic CRM Division, and Polaris. With approximately $35M in managed assets, the Carlson Funds Enterprise program ranks among the three largest student-managed funds in the world. Finally, the Carlson Ventures Enterprise program puts aspiring entrepreneurs in contact with experts, professionals, and investors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
