About the course
Mergers & Acquisitions: Where Theory Meets Practice is a new kind of program at SMU Cox. We’re delivering practical intellectual stimulation that satisfies your academic curiosity and balances theory with ready-to-use insights. You get the academic rigor you expect plus interactive exercises, real-world case studies and lessons from leading industry practitioners that help you turn ideas into action.
This results-focused balance begins with leadership from Associate Dean Shane Goodwin, Ph.D., a former investment banker with more than 20 years of M&A experience on Wall Street, including Goldman Sachs and Citigroup.
In addition to our own expert faculty, Dr. Goodwin has tapped the unmatched SMU Cox network for M&A experts from Goldman Sachs, Evercore, AT&T, PepsiCo, Gibson Dunn, McDermott Will & Emery and Kimberly-Clark, plus former strategy consultants from McKinsey and Bain.
