In its 2011 edition of Best Business Schools, U.S. News & World Report lists the Neeley School of Business at TCU as tied for #88 out of 559 undergraduate business schools accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), which represents the highest standard of achievement for business schools.

Each year, U.S. News surveys deans and senior faculty at each undergraduate business program accredited by the AACSB. Business school deans and faculty (two at each of the 559 AACSB-accredited business programs) were surveyed for this ranking in spring 2010; 42% of those responded.

“We are very pleased to be recognized as one of the premier business programs in the country,” said O. Homer Erekson, John V. Roach Dean of the Neeley School. “This recognition is a tribute to the accomplishments of our faculty and staff as they support outstanding teaching and research new ideas that impact the practice of business.”

TCU also ranks highly in the U.S. News & World Report 2011 edition of Best Colleges. TCU is ranked in the top 100 out of 1,400 AACSB accredited four-year schools, and in the top 20 Up & Coming National Universities.
Among the many factors weighed in determining the TCU’s ranking, the key measures of quality are: peer assessment, graduation and retention rates, faculty resources, student selectivity, financial resources, alumni giving, graduation rate performance and high school counselor ratings.
