Nearly half (48%) of the MSF Class of 2022 entered the investment banking industry.

Texas A&M to break ground on new Business Education Complex

From College Station, Texas: Texas A&M University’s Mays Business School held a ceremony October 28 to break ground on the expansion to its new Business Education Complex.

The groundbreaking for the complex — which will expand Mays’ footprint beyond the Wehner Building and Cox Hall to include a new state-of-the-art building and inviting outdoor space — marks a key milestone in the school’s quest to become the nation’s preeminent public business school. Mays already is ranked No. 23 overall and No. 13 public by U.S. News & World Report and 35th in Entrepreneurship Studies by The Princeton Review. The B-school is ranked 35th in the U.S. by Poets&Quants.

Slated to be completed for occupancy in the spring semester of 2025, the new building’s design will extend and enhance Mays’ strong commitment to being a vibrant learning organization. “The new building is designed for the 21st century and advanced learning models,” says recently retired Abrigo President and CEO Wayne Roberts, a 1985 graduate of the Mays School who committed $7.5 million as the lead donor for the new building. “It will be beautiful aesthetically and architecturally, and it will be a prominent part of campus.”
