As the largest undergraduate business program in the state of Texas, we are hard to ignore.”
Bauer College’s entrepreneurship and accounting programs also earned recognition from U.S. News in a related list of specialty rankings, asking respondents to nominate up to 15 of the best programs, compared to up to 10 in previous years, in business areas including accounting, marketing and finance. The programs receiving the most mentions in each area are ranked on the site in descending order by number of mentions.
