Summary
Trinity University’s Michael Neidorff School of Business earned national recognition in the 2026 Poets&Quants rankings, placing No. 31 among undergraduate business schools and No. 2 among liberal arts universities. The ranking highlights the school’s strengths in academic quality, career outcomes, and experiential learning, reflecting its distinctive integration of business education with a liberal arts foundation.

Trinity University’s Michael Neidorff School of Business continues to earn national recognition. Once again, the school has appeared among the top programs in the country in the latest 2026 Poets&Quants rankings, placing No. 31 among 110 undergraduate business schools and No. 2 amongst the national liberal arts universities.

These rankings reflect strength across the categories Poets&Quants measures most closely: admissions (30), academic experience (22), and career outcomes (62).

“We are especially proud that Neidorff is the top-ranked school among other liberal arts universities without MBA programs,” says Raquel Alexander, Ph.D., dean of the Michael Neidorff School of Business. “Small classes taught by full-time faculty are a hallmark of a Trinity education and help create the close, rigorous learning environment that sets our students apart. While rankings are one way prospective students and their families learn about business schools, Trinity students and faculty do outstanding work that cannot be captured in a single list.”

Trinity business students receive a liberal arts education and study markets alongside human behavior, data alongside ethics, and strategy alongside communication. 

This approach is part of the experience at Trinity, which ranks No. 19 and No. 37 among liberal arts colleges nationally according to Niche and U.S. News and World Report, respectively. The result, Alexander says, is preparation that matches the demands of today’s workplace.
