SMU Internships and Job Opportunities

I know SMU has terrific academics and strong connections throughout the DFW area that can land students with internships and full time employment following graduation. However, can any current or former SMU students speak in regards to job opportunities outside of the DFW area? My son is looking at SMU for the Cox School Of Business, but he prefers to work in different regions of the country (Chicago or New York City). Will a degree from SMU help him with job opportunities in different areas/cities?
