[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP your kid has stats for a much better business school. As someone who has had global responsibilities and has done an expat assignment abroad for an international company you don’t need an “international business” degree. 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. [/quote]

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. [/quote]

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

47 out of over 4,000 colleges [/quote]

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.[/quote]
