International Business #1
USC is very fortunate to have the #1 ranked International Business Program for undergraduates. This program attracts students from across the world. Students interested in applying for the program should strive to maintain a high GPA and prove to be well-rounded in college. There are a variety of ways to get involved at USC such as Student Government, Fraternities and Sororities, Carolina Service Council and University Ambassadors to name a few. Prospective students should also go to the Study Abroad office and work on planning a trip for either a semester or summer that best fits into their schedule. Applications are due February 1st of a student's sophomore year so start planning now.
The International Business Program has professors from top universities such as MIT, Yale and Harvard. The program consists of 60 seniors and 60 juniors. The graduate IMBA (International Master's of Business) advisors worked this past spring with the Int'l Business Advisory Council to teach career workshops. These workshops discuss professional dress, interview preparations, resume building, emotional intelligence, etc. The International Business Advisory Council, of which I am a member, also planned fun activities such as dinner at Monterrey's (Mexican restaurant) and a night of bowling. The Council also created an alumni directory, collected job and internship information and planned a senior banquet that Dean Teegan attended.
The International Business students are a highly motivated and diverse group of people. Students come from a variety of backgrounds, have different study abroad experiences and are active in an array of organizations. If International Business is something you are considering, then keep your eye on the prize. You will meet lots of students who are prospective International Business students from the day you tour the school until the day you turn in your application. One of the best ways to prepare yourself as an ideal candidate is to begin looking at the online application now in order to assure yourself that you can answer all of the questions sufficiently.
