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.

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

47 out of over 4,000 colleges

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.

NP-You new here? You will not convince PP, they and many others here were lost at UofSC.

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

Penn
Michigan
UVA






U of South Carolina


Massive difference. IYKYK.

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.

Don’t disagree about NY kids. But Those are the kids that didn’t get into better b schools, or - they needed the merit. Not the same profile.

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


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

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

And that’s fine. The school is Fine. No one is saying the school is bad PP. But kids who have the means, and the grades, and the scores, have many many other options. My kid didn’t even use U of SC as a safety.

Once again, you don’t know where all kids got in or why they decide to go to a certain college.

And You don’t know the profile of thousands of others who are in Top 10 business schools, who didn’t bother to look at Darla.

Nobody said all kids at a T10 look at Darla

Because the OP asked about International Business. And as far as I can tell, I am the only one so far who has actually had 15 years of global business experience. I know who is hired, who is not hired, I did the hiring, I directed the recruitment efforts, and I can tell you that an “International Business” degree from U of SC does NOT compare to a Regular business degree from McIntyre or Ross. Companies prioritize the schools they hire from. Those are FACTS. Google the term “Do companies Target Schools for Recruitment”

But please let’s keep going with your inane, personally affronted, “no Darla is GREAT’ comments.

I’d wager more than half. Maybe 75%

This is anecdotal and possibly outdated if you are no longer in industry.

As someone who recruits at business schools for consulting, the above advice is dead on. I’ve recruited at Penn, UVA, Michigan, and CMU. Univ of SC is never under consideration. If your child is interested in int’l business, focus on a foreign language and do a semester abroad at a top 25 business school.

This thread isn’t about consulting and surely you are aware most kids don’t go to a T25 b school. This thread has been hijacked by people with no apparent knowledge about Darla. Move on

No. You don’t get to cancel others just because you don’t like the discussion. The original queation was ‘does the international degree at U of SC have any merit’. And many here are trying to answer that. You don’t have to like what is being offered. But you don’t get to stop others from providing real business advice.

I am the PP. I’ve been in global business for the past 25 years and am still doing it. My company is in the midst of campus recruiting for MBAs and undergraduates at 10 business schools. Univ of SC never comes up as a target school. That’s not to say there are not great candidates there. However, anyone interested in joining my global consulting firm from USC would have to have some contacts at my firm or work extra hard to get my attention.

OP asked for experience or insight with Darla, not for consulting advice from someone that said they don’t have experience with Darla.

This is anecdotal and possibly outdated if you are no longer in industry.

If you mean overseeing total recruitment efforts for a multinational that grew from 15,000 employees to 60,000 employees in 10 years, establishing our “Tier 1 Schools” at a global level (aka target schools, and U of SC was not one of them) and then comparing notes with other F500 Talent Acquisition leaders…… sure, use the word anecdotal.
