Four years in a row, the Neeley
School of Business has ranked in the top six in the nation by recent
graduating students surveyed by Bloomberg Businessweek for the annual
Best Undergraduate Business Schools ranking. For 2013, TCU moved up to No. 5 in
the Student Survey, behind Notre Dame (1), Cornell (2), Virginia (3) and Richmond
(4), and ahead of all other Texas undergraduate business schools: SMU (9), UT-Austin (11), Texas A&M
(23), UTD (37), Baylor (60) and Houston (105). The Neeley School also
ranked tops in Texas in Academic Quality, tying with UT-Austin at No. 35, the
two highest ranked Texas schools in that category.
“Our continued success in the eyes
of our students is particularly noteworthy since only four business schools in
the country ranked ahead of us,” George Low, associate dean of undergraduate
programs at Neeley, said. “Our distinguished faculty and staff deserve all the
credit for this impressive accomplishment.”
Neeley garnered A+ in Job
Placement, A+ in Teaching Quality and A+ in Facilities and Services. Overall,
Neeley ranked No. 28 out of 145 U.S. schools ranked by Bloomberg
Businessweek. The rankings are based on surveys of 85,000 senior business
students and 519 employers, and a calculation based on SAT scores, internships, class size,
student-teacher ratios, number of hours of classwork and average starting
salary of recent graduates.
Comments from Neeley students on
the survey include:
- “The education and experiences that
you can have are so well rounded that you almost have to give an effort
not to develop. The personal traits, amazing connections and superb
education have combined to help me to discover my destiny as well as
become confident in my university and myself.”
- “The wide range of programs and resources
that the Neeley School offers give every Neeley student a great basis to
be successful in the business world and grow specific strengths.”
- “The classes are small so there is more
one-on-one time with teachers. Also, the teachers are outstanding and very
helpful.”
- “Our school is highly recruited and I have
been interviewing against students from most of the top-tier schools. TCU
has given me the help and attention I needed to be successful.”
“I am so proud of our faculty and
staff who are committed to providing top-tier learning experiences for our
students and supporting their professional development both inside and outside
the classroom,” O. Homer Erekson, John V. Roach Dean of the Neeley School, said.
