In addition, the College of Science & Engineering was ranked as a top 40 program among engineering schools whose highest degree is a bachelor’s or a master’s, and TCU was listed as an A-plus school for B students. Also, the Neeley School of Business'  undergraduate business program jumped 19 places to No. 69 in the 2012 U.S. News & World Report ranking of the Best Undergraduate Business Programs. U.S. News & World Report lists TCU as tied for No. 69 out of 633 business schools accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), according to a survey of deans and senior faculty at each of the 633 AACSB accredited schools.

TCU recently has made significant strides in many areas – student applications are up, new academic programs have been established, new living and learning facilities have transformed the physical campus and TCU raised $149 million over its original $250 million campaign goal. In short, TCU is providing students with an unparalleled university experience, and as a result, it is being recognized as a top national university.
