Fort Worth, TX September 19, 2012



The Neeley School of Business at TCU continues to distinguish itself among the nation’s finest undergraduate business programs. In a steady move up the rankings, the undergraduate business program at the Neeley School soared to No. 56 from No. 69 last year in the 2013 U.S. News & World Report ranking of the Best Undergraduate Business Programs. U.S. News & World Report lists TCU undergraduate business program as tied for No. 56 out of 484 business schools, according to a survey of deans and senior faculty at business schools accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB).
 
“This ranking shows that leaders of other respected business schools across the country recognize the outstanding academic programs we offer in the Neeley School,” said George Low, Associate Dean of Undergraduate Programs. “I’m confident that our ranking will continue to climb, due to the tireless efforts of Neeley faculty and staff and the exceptionally talented students who come here to learn and then represent the Neeley School with pride throughout their professional careers.”
 
The Neeley School of Business at TCU provides the benefits of a major university—renowned professors, innovative academics and high-profile business connections—in a small, private school that focuses on personal growth, professional development, teamwork, leadership and real-world experience. Neeley Student Success Services, an initiative of the Neeley Academic Advising Center, Alcon Career Center and Neeley Professional Development Center, assures that every undergraduate business student at TCU receives individual career counseling and professional development.
 
“This ranking is based upon a peer assessment by deans of leading business schools across the country, so it reflects the continued strengthening of the Neeley School brand as a nationally recognized business school,” noted O. Homer Erekson, John V. Roach Dean of the Neeley School. “Our faculty and staff deserve the credit for building exceptional learning opportunities both inside and outside the classroom.”
