The best MBA program in the state of Texas! Small classes, challenging work, competitive atmosphere. Professors who are at the cutting edge and are willing to take the time to make sure you are getting a good education. Strong ties to the business community throughout the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Strong Graduate Career Service Center! -- Operations

TCU is like an undervalued stock. The program, faculty, facilities and cost of living are outstanding. The return on investment is excellent. Most of my classmates were placed upon graduation. I had a job offer as well for about $80,000 but it was not the right fit for me. Faculty and Career Services are willing to do whatever is needed. -- Investment Banking

s

The faculty and staff that I had interactions with seemed to be doing me a huge favor by simply providing information about the program and answering my questions. I found most, if not all, of the people I worked with at SMU to be rude and unprofessional. -- Consulting

TCU was able to make the core and typically "boring" subjects (accounting, business law, etc) interesting, relevant, and usable because of the quality of the professors. The classes for specialization were progressive, cumulative, and very developmental of key skills and ideas. -- Consulting

The smaller class size enhanced my learning and enabled me to have access to the professors. -- Operations

s

The program fits the needs of all types of students: those who want to keep working, those who want to change industries, and those who have business experience and simply want to advance their skills. Many friends and colleagues would reach their goals through this MBA program, whatever their goals may be.--Entrepreneurship

Our program used an active participation class structure and good group assignments to improve on real world solutions. -- Finance
