Darla Moore School of Business

For decades, the Darla Moore School of Business at the University of South Carolina has been the leading international business institution in the United States, as evidenced by its No. 1 rankings for undergraduate and graduate international business.

Our MBA degree has held the No.1 ranking in international business for seven years in a row, and in the top three for 31 consecutive years. The International MBA curriculum was the first in the world to deliver an integrated understanding of the impact of country- and region-specific social, cultural, economic and political factors on multinational business.

Our international business faculty serve on the editorial boards of some of the top international business research journals in the country and conduct cutting-edge research in their fields, which is why we’ve also been ranked No. 1 for international business research productivity.

Following a traditional two-year MBA format with a required internship, the international MBA also requires you to live internationally to build your experience and develop the skills you'll need to be a leader in a multinational organization - in the U.S. or anywhere in the world. This includes:

• In-country corporate experiences and consulting projects to gain an in-depth understanding of the industry and the region
• Student-selected immersion tracks in the language development or strategy development
• International exchange programs at more than 67 schools in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, the Middle East, and North and South America

If you seek an accelerated option, our one-year MBA can have an immediate impact on your career. For 10 months, you focus your studies on a specific business discipline and enhance your MBA with electives, functional specialization and can even pursue a business analytics certificate as one of the most sought-after credentials in industry.

Our MBA programs begin in our summer term each year with an MBA Orientation that will immerse and prepare you for the full business school experience.
