<p>Hi, I was wondering what the general outside view of Clemson's business school is? I know that Clemson is highly ranked as both a public university as well as for engineering, but I have not seen it in any undergraduate business school rankings whatsoever. Is it not viewed that highly of or is there a different reason for this? Also, I live in NY so I was wondering how the job market for Clemson grads is in the northeast, specifically NYC. I'm not sure what type of prestige the Clemson b-school has compared to other universities (i.e. Syracuse, Indiana-Bloomington).</p>
<p>I always take these rankings with a grain of salt. Clemson is not highly ranked in undergraduate engineering rankings as well but it’s engineering program is well regarded among employers and is probably the strongest major here at Clemson. Business is definitely one of the strongest majors at Clemson and I wouldn’t worry if you wanted to work in the Northeast after college but still wanted to come to Clemson.</p>
I am confused by your post.
Where in NY? There is a NYC tri-state Clemson Alumni group,they may be biased if you ask them.

My daughter was just accepted to pre-business at Clemson as well as a direct admit to Kelley at Indiana. She got good scholarships from both and it will be a very difficult choice for her. We are in upstate NY.
@daveverdo. The IU Kelley Business School is definitely the better choice for business. However, Clemson is a top 20 school so I don’t think your D could go wrong either way. I am from IN but live in FL and I can tell you that IU is well respected throughout the entire country. I’m not sure how well known Clemson is outside of the east/southeast. My D was accepted to IU also (Media School) but still haven’t heard from Clemson yet. Hoping for good news this week!
@daveverdo Hi I am now a high school senior what was your daughter’s gpa and ACT/SAT. I have a 3.78. Gpa and a 29 ACT. I a, very involved outside of school in 2 sports and do lots of community service. Does this sound like your daughter’s application bc I am looking to go the Kelley school of business and looking at Clemson just Clemson doesn’t seem to have a good business school. Tell me what you think please if I can get into both ellet school of business or and Clemson pre business Thanks
