The University of South Carolina has the top first-year student experience of any public college in the country, according to U.S. News and World Report’s annual undergraduate rankings released Monday (Sept. 13). This is the third consecutive year South Carolina has been ranked the No. 1 public institution in the category.
Contributing to the university’s top freshmen student experience is University 101, a first-year seminar started nearly five decades ago to help students adjust to college life and learn about the university’s offerings.
The university also retained its No. 1 ranking in international business for the 23rd straight year.
“To earn the 23rd consecutive year as the No. 1-ranked undergraduate international business program is a testament to the world-class faculty, top-performing students who go on to have illustrious careers and a challenging and robust curriculum that make a top-ranked program,” said Darla Moore School of Business Dean Peter Brews. “To not only have the No. 1 undergraduate IB program as well as the No. 1 International MBA program, as announced earlier this year, demonstrates the excellence and academic rigor of our programs and the career preparation we provide our graduates.”
