High Quality, Accessible Faculty

“The high level of ownership that our faculty take in learning is a major contributor to the
collaborative environment here at McCombs. Our faculty go above and beyond to engage our
students outside of the classroom, which results in a depth of student development well beyond
the topics discussed in class.”

Joey Martin, Texas MBA ’18
