Questrom is a rising research powerhouse.
We are very successful at recruiting high-quality faculty, having hired more than 45 full-time research faculty in the past five years. New faculty come from the most prestigious institutions, including Dartmouth, Harvard, MIT, Stanford, and Yale. This infusion of talent has allowed us to realign our idea-generation efforts with an evolving marketplace. The result? A rise in our research ranking overall and in several academic departments. From a rank of 45 in terms of business publications just five years ago to the top 30 today—according to UT Dallas Research Rankings— Questrom has established itself firmly in the top tier of research institutions.
