The Princeton Review named the Neeley School of Business as one of the top schools in the nation in the 2007 edition of the Best 282 Business Schools. Neeley ranked No. 9 in Best Campus Facilities.

Also, the Neeley School of Business is tops in Texas for the second straight year. That’s according to The Wall Street Journal Guide to Top Business Schools. Neeley was ranked No. 11 out of 51 regional schools — ahead of the business schools at Texas, Rice, SMU and Texas A&M. The ranking is based on a survey of corporate MBA recruiters that assesses 21 attributes of a program, including its “personal ethics and integrity” and “analytical and problem-solving skills.”
