The SW Graduate School of Banking provides world-class education to develop banking leaders who elevate their organizations, industry, and community. This flagship program is a three-year graduate course of study designed to prepare participants for a successful banking career.
The SWGSB Commercial Lending School in partnership with Texas Bankers Association is a transformative program that enables loan officers, credit analysts, credit risk professionals, portfolio managers, and commercial lenders to rise to leadership positions in banking with advanced credit training.
The SWGSB Assemblies for Bank Directors attract directors and senior management from across the country to discuss the latest issues affecting the industry. From nationally known authorities on corporate governance to leading experts on risk management, our assemblies provide the knowledge to execute board duties with confidence and intelligence.
SWGSB's National Certified Community Bank Director’s Program (NCCBD) addresses all areas of bank directorship, from duties and responsibilities to the essentials of bank finance.
This three-day program on the SMU campus provides individuals with the resources and insights necessary to reach their full potential as directors for their community banks.
Workshops for Bank Directors are also offered to complement the Assemblies for Bank Directors and the Certified Community Bank Director's certification. These workshops provide additional learning around specific issues in the current industry landscape. Because workshops are updated regularly, directors may participate often. These workshops also meet the CCBD certification requirements for additional training or re-certification.
