USC’s international business program earns top rankings
September 10, 2014
The undergraduate international business program at the University of South Carolina’s Darla Moore School of Business continues to top the U.S. News and World Report’s “America’s Best Colleges” list and is one of 47 nationally ranked programs at Carolina.
The 2015 edition of the publication was released Tuesday (Sept.9) and the international business program continues an unbroken streak of 16 straight years ranked in the No. 1 spot. In March, the Moore School’s master’s program in international business also was ranked No. 1.
The Moore School of Business’ Insurance and Risk Management program was ranked No. 11 in the Tuesday’s rankings.
“It is gratifying that the Darla Moore School of Business has retained its ranking as the nation’s top undergraduate international business program,” said Moore School Dean Peter Brews. “Being recognized No.1 by peer institutions in both graduate and undergraduate international business speaks to the high quality of our programs, faculty and students. Studying international business at the Moore School prepares students for work in markets around the world, making them geocentric in orientation and fully appreciative of where they fit in the global division of labor.
“I am also pleased that our insurance and risk management program is ranked 11th placing us among the best in the country. Adding to its strength in international business, the Moore School offers many outstanding programs of study, all producing market-ready graduates well prepared for 21st century high-value jobs,” Brews said.
The university also earned praise from the U.S. News and World Report publication for creating world-class first-year experience and learning community programs.
Carolina has a long history of providing new students with the tools they need to be successful in college. The university is home to the National Resource Center for the First-Year Experience and Students in Transition, which serves as the trusted expert and clearinghouse for scholarship, policy, and best practice for all postsecondary student transitions.
The university’s Living and Learning Communities also are an important part of the Carolina experience, providing students with the opportunity to live in an environment that promotes diversity, embraces excellence, encourages insightful faculty-student interaction and works to develop a strong sense of community.
