Last month, AméricaEconomía published their annual ranking of full-time MBA programs that are of particular appeal to Latin Americans, and for the second year in a row McCombs rose in the rankings, up three spots to No. 17 worldwide.
The Texas MBA Full-Time Program rose two spots among U.S. schools to No. 7, overtaking Vanderbilt and Georgetown University, and held steady among American public institutions at No. 3. Only Berkeley (7) and UNC (14) fared better among public schools.

Below are comments on the ranking from some of McCombs’ Latin American students:
McCombs posiciona a sus estudiantes a agarrar al mundo por los cuernos.
“Texas has historically held a prestigious position in Latin American hearts. With the U.S. being the #1 foreign trade partner for many Latin American countries, including Mexico, it’s no wonder why every month I receive increasing calls and emails from Latin American prospective students interested in the Texas MBA. The advantages McCombs offers, combined with Latin American entrepreneurial spirit stronger than ever, positions graduate students to win with countless friends, mentors, and opportunities to take on the world by the horns.”
-Rodrigo De La Garza (Mexico)
Tem sido uma ótima experiência que, sem dúvidas, irá me ajudar a mudar o mundo!
“McCombs has been an amazing place to interact with some of the brightest minds in the world, especially with Latin Americans. I was surprised with the amount of companies looking for prospective students to develop successful careers in Latin American countries, and this figure continues to grow. McCombs’ faculty and students are so engaged in making the business school even better that I am sure we will continue to build on this ranking. It has been a great experience that will help me to change the world! Hook’em!”

Sin duda la mejor decisión que he tomado ha sido venirme a McCombs, ha sido una experiencia que me ha cambiado la vida y me ha dejado mucho aprendizaje.
“Coming to McCombs has been the best life-changing decision I have made, I have had a lot of opportunities to understand what my strengths are and how to benefit from them. As co-president of the Latin American and Hispanic Association I have participated in diverse networking events with people from several countries within Latin America and I have noticed the prestigious reputation McCombs has built for itself throughout the years. Employers from all over Latin America have approached our association for recruitment; they always express a deep respect for McCombs. I am amazed with the devotion of the McCombs board and staff, and the unconditional support they demonstrate to students is invaluable. Every day I find myself surrounded by very interesting people who are now lifetime friends. Hook’em horns!”
