The University of South Carolina’s Darla Moore School of Business’s International MBA program was named No. 1 in the 2015 U.S. News & World Report’s Best Graduate Schools.
The program, which was ranked third last year, bested Thunderbird School of Management, University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School, and Harvard Business School. The Moore School has ranked in the top three for 25 consecutive years.
“The Moore School has over the past few years redesigned its International MBA program, and it is gratifying to receive such wonderful recognition for this effort,” said Peter Brews, dean of the Darla Moore School of Business, in a news release. “I am grateful to all the faculty, staff and students who contributed to the ranking announced today. Being ranked No. 1 in both undergraduate and graduate international business programs by U.S. News & World Report is an outstanding accolade to receive, and the Moore School will continue on its innovative path in international business education so that this stellar ranking is maintained.”
The U.S. News & World Report graduate school rankings are based on peer and recruiter assessments, placement success, selectivity and salary surveys of graduates.
The Moore School enrolls more than 4,000 undergraduate students and nearly 900 graduate students.
