The University of Texas’ McCombs School of Business ranks 18th on U.S. News & World Report’s latest list of the nation’s top business schools.

According to the magazine, 82.4 percent of McCombs’ 2008 graduates were employed full-time as of graduation. And for Texas students, McCombs’ in-state tuition of $24,200 a year is a relative bargain compared with the $40,000-and-up annual tuition among many of the other top business schools.

U.S. News surveyed 426 MBA programs to get the information used in the ranking of top business schools.

According to the magazine, the rankings are “based on two types of data: expert opinions about program quality and statistical indicators that measure the quality of a school’s faculty, research, and students.”

The only other schools in Texas to rank among the top 50 were the Jesse H. Jones Graduate School of Management at Rice University (38th), the Cox School of Business at Southern Methodist University in Dallas (47th) and the University of Texas-Dallas (49th).
