BUSINESSWEEK RANKS NEELEY SCHOOL #34 FOR 2009 BEST UNDERGRADUATE BUSINESS SCHOOLS

The Neeley School of Business at TCU is No. 34 in the country in BusinessWeek’s fourth annual ranking of U.S. undergraduate business programs. Neeley also ranked 27th in the country for Internships, higher than all other Texas schools except #14 University of Texas, and received an “A” for Job Placement.

Like the Neeley School, the schools that excelled in the survey focus intensely on helping students land jobs. Other BusinessWeek national rankings for the Neeley School of Business at TCU are:
9th in Student Survey
18th for Hardest Working Students based on hours spent on class work each week
A+ in Teaching Quality
A+ in Facilities and Service
“In any economy, a keen knowledge of business is crucial, but especially so in an unstable economy. If anything, business schools are even more in demand today as smart students invest in their personal and professional future,” said Dr. Bill Moncrief, Senior Associate Dean for undergraduate programs. The Neeley School of Business makes up about one-third of TCU’s undergraduate population.

BusinessWeek surveyed 85,000 senior business majors and nearly 600 corporate recruiters. The magazine also looked at median starting salaries for graduates and the number of graduates sent to top MBA programs. BusinessWeek also calculated an academic quality rating for each school by combining SAT scores, student-faculty ratios, class size, the percentage of students with internships, and the number of hours students devote to class work.
