For three years in a row, the Neeley School of Business has ranked in the top 30 in the nation in Bloomberg Businessweek’s annual ranking of U.S. undergraduate business programs. Neeley ranked No. 28 out of 142 U.S. schools ranked by Bloomberg Businessweek for 2012. The rankings are based primarily on surveys of 86,000 senior business students and 749 employers, and a calculation of academic quality based on SAT scores, internships, class size, student-teacher ratios and number of hours students devote to classwork.

 

The Neeley School of Business at TCU is the only Texas school in the top 30 for Academic Quality, at No. 22.  Neeley ranked No. 6 in the Student Survey, behind Notre Dame (1), Virginia (2), Cornell (3) Emory (4), Richmond (5), and ahead of North Carolina (7), MIT (8), Texas-Austin (9) and SMU (10).

 

The Neeley School also garnered straight A-pluses in Job Placement, Teaching Quality and Facilities/Services.
