World-Class Faculty
Our top-ranked TCU business faculty members are sought-after consultants, many of whom have owned their own businesses or held influential positions with leading companies. Most importantly, they are talented educators who help you discover new ways of looking at business, the world and yourself.
High-energy Classrooms
Be sure you come prepared to each class, because you will be called upon. Most of our faculty members use the flipped classroom concept: readings and lectures are moved outside of the classroom, so class time is reserved for robust discussion.
Close Connections
Small, cohort classes of 25-35 and smaller project teams mean you’ll not only receive personal attention from faculty, you’ll build meaningful relationships with your peers. They’ll challenge you to look at your organization or future position differently, and because they’re collaborative – not cutthroat – they’ll become an important part of your professional network.
DFW Roots. Global Reach.
All our master's programs offer study abroad opportunities, as close to home as Washington, D.C., or as far away as the other side of the globe. From China to Chile, from Italy to India, you’ll learn what it takes to compete and succeed in a global economy.
Powerful Professional Networking
Gain access to industry events, professional advancement and executive mentorship, to meet leaders in your chosen field, both academic and professional.
Career Development
From the in-depth personal assessments available to all our students through the Graduate Career Center, to one-on-one executive coaching for our students in all part time programs, TCU Neeley boosts your career way beyond the classroom.
The Power of Purple
Earn a degree with global credibility from one of the nation’s most respected business schools – one that supports you throughout your career. As our faculty, alumni and students continue to excel across industries, the prestige of your degree rises with them.
