+1 it’s funny how insecure some folks must be to come on here and bash a very reputable b school.

Have your kid go to the highest ranked school and overall business school (university of South Carolina is not top) The best b schools all offer global exposure to their undergrads, trips, even global internships. Look them up. Then join a F500 with global presence for the first gig out of school.

You might not be aware of how strong SC has become for business. Darla Moore has been recognized by Poets and Quants. Look at their new top flight facility.

Say you get into Wharton Ross or McIntyre…. You’re going to choose to go to Darla?? No.

SC is #1 for international business per USNWR and honors. Generous merit would make SC the better value proposition.

Poets and Quants had it ranked at 47th, though. I’m sure it’s fine but I wouldn’t oversell it either.

I agree with this. I wouldn’t get too hung up on rankings of individual majors, as they can be difficult to meaningfully assess, and international business has never been considered a particularly strong business major (and your kid could change his mind anyway once he’s there). He could always pick up a minor in international business if offered, or IR, or a regional studies to complement a business degree and feed his interest.

Many of which don’t have business programs.

Let’s not go down this route though. I’m sure it’s fine. But the point that some of us are making is that I wouldn’t aim for a school just because of a niche major ranking. Look at career outcomes, places that hire there, opportunities during school, fit, etc. And recognize that international business is usually a nice program during the four years but doesn’t often lead to the job opportunities that kids hope for, or roles that are necessarily different from the other majors. I’ve seen lots of disappointed international business majors over the years because expectations did not match reality.

Disagree. Darla is top flight.

Or conversely how insecure some folks must be to insist that their business school is so amazing in niche subdiscipline.

+1 I don't find P&Q rankings trustworthy.

They have Towson ranked high (not knocking on Towson; younger DC will probably end up there) and UMD not even ranked. There is no way UMD < Towson.

That doesn’t mean they’re right. Darla international business is ranked #1 by USNWR which is more reputable than DCUM posters.

I don’t know why previous responses were deleted?? There was nothing offensive about them??

I said it before and so I’ll say it again

And that is no shade on Darla. But Darla is not Top 10. And OPs kid has stats to make Top 10 viable.

You’re entitled to your opinion. Others disagree. Btw UofSC has many kids from NY and the tri-state that have a large network of their own.

Some kids might choose Darla for location, merit offer, SC honors, etc.
