Neeley School of Business

The Neeley School of Business at TCU provides outstanding academics, personal development, powerful connections and real experience in a small, private university setting. Nationally-acclaimed professors teach classes in which students are empowered to ask questions, think critically, and drill down to their personal strengths. Outside the classroom, students network with high-ranking professionals in top companies. They work on real projects for major organizations, generating quality outcomes while building resume-enhancing experiences for themselves. At Neeley, it’s more than business. It’s personal.

What Current Students Say See All 14 Comments >

Neeley is personal. The professors care deeply about their students and everyone has the opportunity to make their own way and to utilize resources to their benefit. Also, Neeley teaches social responsibility. New courses in social entrepreneurship are incredibly informative and inspiring. Because of Neeley, I feel that I have the skills and the passion to not only be successful, but also to make the world a better place.
