FACULTY & RESEARCH

About the Faculty

SMU Cox has attracted a unique group of professors distinguished by their innovative research, passion for teaching, and corporate consulting experience. Including graduates of Wharton, Stanford, the University of Chicago, Harvard Business School, and other top-ranked institutions, the Cox faculty today is one of the very best in the world.

• The Cox faculty is ranked among the top 30 business schools in the world for research productivity in economics, finance, information systems, marketing, and strategy, according to a recent study by Academic Assessment Services (AAS). Only six other U.S. business schools rank in the top 30 in all five categories.
• The Princeton Review ranks Cox #9 for best professors, based on interest and accessibility.
• In its first ranking of undergraduate business programs, BusinessWeek gave the Cox School an A+ for teaching quality.

Cox professors do more than teach the latest business trends and topics. They influence the direction of business through cutting-edge research on such topics as the effects of terrorism on global capital markets, the collateral value of fine art, new compensation models for the health care industry, and the four-generation workplace.
