    #1 Best Colleges for Business in Texas

    Junior: In one sentence:there.is.something.for.everyone! UT Austin is simply the best in making a large school feeling immediately smaller by the countless communities you can jump right into. From political to adventurous student organizations, to meeting the very brightest professors and students in your chosen field, you will never cease to be amazed by the unlimited amount of opportunities available to you. For instance, I am a double major in Government and International Relations and Global Studies and am continuously amazed at the amount of programs, events, lectures , courses, and books available just for students in those majors. Your college's department of Career Services will blow you away as well, they will provide any and all resources to ensure your success after graduation. Most of all, UT is a highly respected university in the state of Texas and beyond, a degree from UT will go a very long way! I highly recommend studying here.

    #2 Best Colleges for Business in Texas

    Junior: SMU has provided a unique establishment of community in order for all students to feel welcome! However, the diversity presented within the school is quite low. There are sparse percentages of Latinos, Hispanics, African Americans, and Asians. Even though this is the case, the gradual enrollment of multiple international students does decrease the evident ethnic gap among students. Additonally, many of the teachers and remainder of the faculty are friendly and supportive for all students to succeed. With constant reminders regarding the A-LEC center and its workshops, students are free to ask questions from a variety of multiple disciplines to tutors who are readily available! Without a doubt, the student life at SMU is the best!

    #3 Best Colleges for Business in Texas

    Junior: The connections that I have been able to make through this University have been invaluable! Mays business school has numerous professional programs, such as the Trading Risk Investment Progam, Titans of Investing, PPA, and more that provide students with the opportunity to get an amazing jumpstart on our career. Also, there are many off-campus housing options at Texas A&M, some of which are the cost of a dorm that allows students to have their own room.

    Belmont Abbey College

    • 4 Year
    • Belmont, NC
    • 179

    Freshman: Belmont Abbey felt like home from the first time I set foot on campus my junior year of high school. It's a very Catholic school that adheres to the church teachings. Even though it is a Catholic campus, Belmont Abbey is very welcoming to everyone. It's really easy to make friends on such a small campus and you get back what you put in. There are ways to socialize and meet new people almost every night but if you don't go you'll never make friends. Many of the professors are amazing and care not only about your academics but your whole life. Everyone here is apart of a massive family and it's amazing. If you're wondering about the food on campus it's not the worst, it's proabably to the better end of food you'll find on a college campus. If there is one thing I recommend it's bringing a car if possible, it can be a little tedious being stuck on campus. Overall Belmont Abbey has been an amazing experience for me and I am loving every minute of it!

    • 3,959
    #4 Best Colleges for Business in Texas

    Freshman: Overall, I love Baylor! It is a beautiful campus, and so far the teachers I've had class with are very kind people. I am an Interior Design major which is a fairly small majoring class, but all the students have been so kind to help other students with projects and assignments, share encouraging words, and become friends with the rest of the students in the major. My only complaint is our university was blessed with quite a bit of money at a charity event and instead of using the money on renovating desperately-needed education buildings(mine is one of them) and dorms. Baylor is choosing to construct a new welcome center building which is unneeded and served towards potential students and constructing more renovations to our newer education buildings.

    #5 Best Colleges for Business in Texas

    Junior: This past semester was my first since transferring. This college has made the transition so incredibly easy! The advisors are always available and extremely helpful. All of my professors have been wonderful in the styles of teaching and ease of access if any help is needed. The campus is beautiful, and provides a long list of tools to help any student to succeed. Some of these tools include workshops to gain certifications in programs such as excel, torturing labs for just about any class, and even mock interviews and resume building to prepare students for their future careers. I love UTD!

    #6 Best Colleges for Business in Texas

    Sophomore: I am an international student at Trinity.

    Trinity has furnished me with countless great memories. With three years of required on-camps housing, you will definitely feel at home here and experience the southern hospitality on campus.

    Also, Trinity's challenging courses and respectful + intellectual student body will help you grow as a well-rounded and open-minded person.

    Enrolling at Trinity was one of the best decisions of my life! My amazing teachers and friends made this campus my sanctuary, San Antonio my hometown, and Spurs my favorite team!

    I hope it will be home for many great people as well.

    • 5,757
    #7 Best Colleges for Business in Texas

    Graduate Student: University of Houston is a phenomenal school to invest the next 4 years of your life as well as money! For a university level education, it is very affordable and located in an area where living is also very affordable. Even if the school is considered a commuter school there are many organizations ( fraternity, sorority, dance teams, anime club, business clubs ) students can join to make friends and feel more involved in the community. The university offers many majors, 2 professional schools, and many graduate programs. They have branches all over the state of Texas. This university is reputable where freshly graduates do not have trouble finding a job! It is located in an area where major companies or the company of your dreams will hire fresh graduate students full time or offer internships . I would highly recommend this University!

  10. Texas Christian University

    • 4 Year
    • Fort Worth, TX
    • 1,506
    #8 Best Colleges for Business in Texas

    Senior: Texas Christian University embodies a unique social and academic culture that has allowed me to grow in more ways that I would have ever imagined. Students are confident and passionate to pursue their deep desires. I love the wide variety of opportunities the school offers to be involved on campus or in the Fort Worth community. Class size is medium to small, which is perfect for discussions and getting to know the professors. The population is small enough to feel like a family, yet large enough to get the full "college" experience. TCU can also be challenging, because you are surrounded by high achievers and competition. Sometimes it can feel overwhelming to compare to people around you, but ultimately it has spurred me on to be the best version of me. TCU is a world-changing place!

  11. Texas Tech University

    • 4 Year
    • Lubbock, TX
    • 4,481
    #9 Best Colleges for Business in Texas

    Senior: Texas Tech is a great size school, being a mid-to-large-sized university but also has a bit of a smaller feel in that you know more people than expected with such a student population size. People in the city of Lubbock and at Tech are generally friendly. Tech for its size tries very hard to support its students and offers great student amenities all the time - you just have to take advantage! I'm not sure how the difficulty of Tech's academic programs compare to other programs, but while it is good some classes seem a waste of time due to extreme easiness or an abundance of busy work with no adequate learning. However, other classes can be very challenging so it really depends on the department's chosen approach and expectations for the course and the professor(s) teaching the course. Lubbock as a city is a good college town, however, I would not like to stay here past my graduation as it is quite spread out and less "happening" than I am used to being from the Houston area.

    #10 Best Colleges for Business in Texas

    Sophomore: Although at first glance I was not completely sure SU would be the school for me, after simply days there I knew that I was home. The classes are small, and the teachers truly care about the individual educations of their students. I was so encouraged in my desire to pursue not only a double major, but a minor as well. Southwestern truly encourages you to reach for your dreams. And they have so many resources available for you to actually achieve those dreams. I have found lifelong mentors and friends at Southwestern, and I highly recommend it to all!

    #11 Best Colleges for Business in Texas

    Sophomore: Equipped with a rigorous core curriculum and a close-knit community, UD is a nourishing campus. Some crusaders may complain about the reading done at UD, but UD teaches its students the truth about living. We’ve all read Homer, Milton and Dante by the end of our first year in addition to Aristotle, Plato and Aquinas! It’s not just an education based on the sciences but a well-rounded one. The campus is built with boring architecture but within those walls are a family of students and staff who hold on to unique traditions. Groundhog week is only a sneak peek into the energetic and creative life of a crusader. I love UD if there was anything I could improve at UD that would be the Asian Food section in the cafeteria!

    Senior: LeTourneau University is a fantastic school! The last four years that I have attended school here have been good! The community on campus is great, and the school provides a nurturing environment. The smaller class size allows for the students to be able to interact with the professors more. I have enjoyed all the classes that I have taken and learned so much from my time here at this university. The University works on providing exciting events that create community for those on campus. Overall, I would highly recommend LeTourneau University to those looking for a smaller high-quality school!

    Alum: A life-changing experience- Austin College had such a welcoming and close tight-knit community that drew me to attending there. Despite its size, it is filled with many amazing and unique opportunities like their JanTerm/MayTerm where you have the chance to study abroad! The professors in all areas are excellent, and the study body is very diverse and open. I got the chance to broaden my knowledge through the interdisciplinary courses and meet people from all over the world. I highly recommend a campus tour as it is how I came to love and go to AC!

  19. University of St. Thomas - Texas

    #14 Best Colleges for Business in Texas

    Junior: The University of St. Thomas is a private Catholic university strategically located right in the center of Houston. As such, there are countless entertainments available around the campus if you decided to attend this university. Be careful though, not all majors in this university are equally funded. Philosophy, English , pre-law, pre-med, and science are well-funded and have good programs. Not so much for Mathematics and Computer science. It has very strong Catholic community including many Priests and Sisters teaching the classes. If you desire a university with strong religious background AND right in the middle of a major city, this is the university of your choice.

    #15 Best Colleges for Business in Texas

    Senior: 3 Reasons Why DBU is NOT For You.


    1)
    DBU is not for you if you like to
    drink & party all the time. There are strict rules against alcohol on campus, which is bad for some and great for others.


    2)
    You're not serious about your faith.
    DBU is very serious about Christianity.
    I have friends who went to TCU & SMU, both are not
    Christ-centered in overall campus environment.
    DBU integrates Christianity into almost every aspect
    of the univ.

    For EX: Professors begin class with prayer, most of staff is very helpful
    in guiding you to grow in your faith. Chapel is required for all students.


    3)
    You like big classes you can miss.
    DBU is famous for small class sizes
    are very personal. You dont get to be late without anyone noticing.
    Class attendance = mandatory but you dont get marked up for being late
    (Cough..UNT..cough)


    BUT...

    If you're serious about ur faith and growing to be the best person you can be physically, mentally and spiritually
    DBU would be a perfect school for you!

    #16 Best Colleges for Business in Texas

    Freshman: The professors here are very personable and the campus is easy to get around! UNT features awesome amenities like a huge food court with plenty of options (the University Union,) free bus transportation, and so many tutoring opportunities if you're struggling! They really care for us students here and offer free mental health counseling, a clinic for any health issues, and assistance with testing/essays. The only downsides would be the parking situation for students that live off campus and freshmen who have to park across I-35 and the older residence halls. Aside from these little obstacles, UNT is a wonderful university (and definitely worth the price!) Go Mean Green!

No one is rude or judgmental in any way and everyone is very helpful. Chapel is a great experience that everyone should experience in their life. It's a great time to connect with other students through faith. Also The Bean (cafeteria) has amazing options for food and you can tell everything is fresh!

    Junior: I love St. Mary's University! The quality of education is very valuable. The professors are great educators and I love how they always try to keep the students involved in extracurricular activities. One of my favorite things that St. Mary's does is the hands on training that is needed to go out with experience. As an music education major, this is crucial for me because I need to observe how other professors teach the class and obtain experience. Although St. Mary's University gives you good quality education, it is very expensive.

    Junior: Texas State University is a beautiful campus that has much to offer both academically and socially. With hundreds of degree plans, there is surely something for everyone to get excited about learning at Texas State. The professors and staff are always willing to lend a helping hand and fellow students are just as friendly. Furthermore, there are multiple organizations available to aid in student academic, social and career success. My favorite aspect about the campus is the geography of the area within and around it: tall, forested hills, lakes, and, my favorite, the San Marcos River that snakes around campus and through beautiful parks. Overall, I highly recommend Texas State University to all prospective undergrad and graduate students. Go Bobcats!

    Alum: St. Ed's is an overall fantastic school. The campus is beautiful and safe, and the dorms and apartments are really nice. The university is academic-focused and does not have any Greek life; athletics aren't a big thing on campus, either.

    Because it's a liberal arts university, you'll be required to take a high number of general ed courses in the arts and sciences, which help prepare you for the senior-year capstone course. The academics at SEU are quite rigorous and demanding, as you'll be required to write a high number of 15+-page papers, as well as complete many group projects. Unlike large universities, class sizes at St. Ed's are small, and many profs keep a record of attendance.

    Alum: West Texas A&M University is a treasure of a school that is near to my heart. After graduating, I pursued a doctorate at another University but still consider WT to be my home. The campus, with its arboretum and many gardens, is a warm and inviting place that allows anyone willing to work a place to succeed. There are countless ways to get involved with organizations on campus and plug in with groups that will give you a home. The traditions are strong and make everyone feel like they are truly a part of the same community. The professors that taught me were mostly very passionate about what they taught and I think everyone who graduates from the school receives a well-rounded education. The cost of the school was well under the actual value that I have received from being a student there.

The environment is not only clean, but also positive as the people get along with one another. The staff members at Houston Baptist University always strive to encourage the students to do their best in classes and in their personal lives. They also create many different events and to try and engage with the students. The most important thing that Houston Baptist University offers is spiritual growth. The campus has a variety of programs (Bible studies, convocations, etc.) that allow the students to fellowship with their mentors and increase their love for God. Houston Baptist University is an excellent college to attend and a person would not regret applying to this university!

Not only is this college known for being diverse there are also so many ways for students to meet and make new friends. UTA holds many events throughout the school year. For example, there is ooze ball which is volleyball in the mud. There are clubs and fraternety's that come out and sell food or art work. There are many opportunities for students to do well in their classes because UTA has recently offered free tutoring. There are also many places around campus for studying as well as hanging out with friends. UTA has allowed me to make new friends and do well in my studies! If you're looking for a fun, diverse, and academic focused school UTA is the place for you.

    Graduate Student: I absolutely love attending this university! Professors are fair and responsive to a student's needs, usually responding to a question or concern at all hours of the day. This university also has quality instruction with real challenging material. This is not a run of the mill university where you pay for your degree, you will actually learn something and will be needed to apply yourself in your studies. I am so glad I transferred from my "pay for degree" school to this University.

There are a lot of clubs and organizations that are lead by students to help student feel a part of a group and participate in world changing activities. MSU also has a really good academic system. A person can get outside of class help anytime he or she needs it. In addition to that, there are many academic advisors that help students plan their college schedules and enroll in classes. There are on campus jobs with really flexible schedules and professional staff.

    Freshman: Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University - Prescott, has provided me with many opportunities and I feel that committing here was the best option for me, personally. While there is a large male to female ratio, females attending this school receive great attention and are offered many additional opportunities. Due to their small campus and enrollment, teachers and students can interact in a way that many other college students won't get to experience. I have made some strong personal connections with many of my professors, and hopefully this will allow me to build my reputation with them for the next three years.
