Neidorff School of Business Ranks #27 in First Poets&Quants Appearance

Trinity University’s Michael Neidorff School of Business is on the rise. As a pioneer in undergraduate business education and an AACSB-accredited school, NSB has been ranked by Poets&Quants as the No. 27 Best Undergraduate Business School in the nation for 2025. Poets&Quants has also named NSB one of its 10 Undergraduate Business Schools to Watch in 2025. And, among all schools that submit data to be considered for inclusion in the undergraduate b-school list, NSB ranks No. 1 in Texas.

“This ranking is a testament to the strength of Trinity University’s academic excellence and the impact of our Neidorff School of Business,” says Megan Mustain, Ph.D., provost and vice president for Academic Affairs. “Being recognized on the national stage as a top-ranked business school reinforces the value of our interdisciplinary approach to undergraduate business education. It elevates our standing, strengthens our reputation, and affirms that Trinity is preparing the next generation of thoughtful, innovative leaders.”

The ranking, which marks NSB’s first appearance on the Poets&Quants list, underscores the School’s ongoing commitment to access, excellence, and opportunity. The Poets&Quants methodology is centered around three equally weighted categories: academic experience, admission standards, and career outcomes.

Listed as No. 12 for academic experience, NSB has been dedicated to providing students with an education that prepares them to thrive in today’s rapidly changing business landscape. With a mix of rigor and camaraderie, our students sharpen their knowledge and skills through hands-on education, faculty and undergraduate research, internships, meaningful collaboration, and leadership opportunities.

Trinity’s Class of 2028 broke University records with 12,508 applications and a record-low 26% admit rate. These stats reflect a near 10% increase in applications from last year’s 11,425 and a 2% decrease in the admissions rate from last year’s 28%. This data highlights the University’s strong admission standards, which play a pivotal role in NSB’s Poets&Quants ranking of No. 24 for admission standards.

Located in San Antonio, Texas, the School’s strategic position offers students access to a thriving regional economy and abundant career opportunities. With 98% of recent graduates either employed or enrolled in graduate school within six months of graduation, it’s no surprise that NSB has earned a No. 41 ranking for career outcomes. As part of Trinity University, ranked No. 20 liberal arts college in the nation by Niche, NSB offers students the tools to innovate, lead, and succeed in business.

“This ranking is a powerful recognition of the storied excellence that defines Trinity’s Neidorff School of Business—our faculty’s dedication to teaching and research, our staff’s commitment to student success, and our students’ drive to lead and innovate,” says Bob Scherer, Ph.D., dean of the Neidorff School of Business. “We will continue to expand our impact, strengthen our programs, and prepare students for the evolving demands of the business world. My sincere congratulations to our outstanding faculty, students, and alumni whose dedication and achievements continue to set Trinity apart.”
