<p>Blah blah blah blah blah. </p>

<p>I still hate rankings.</p>

3

<p>who cares?</p>

4

<p>the US news rankings are heavily based on factors that give private schools an advantage such as alumni giving. i prefer the washington monthly? rankings that put UCLA in the top 5. for well under half the price of usc we are getting a better education.</p>

<p>Wow. Great detective work.</p>

<p>Did you actually read the thread? Or the other one that says that UCLA is 26th?</p>

<p>Go start a fire elsewhere.</p>

<p>"Blah blah blah blah blah.</p>

<p>I still hate rankings."</p>

<p>i know i know, it sucks. when the rankings favor ucla, you love it. usnews is god's gift to mankind. but when they dont....</p>

<p>well, just be content on being 26</p>

<p>usc trolls are back....</p>

<p>Actually, no. I hate rankings, period. I've made that abundantly clear during my time at CC. </p>

<p>I especially hate the way that people around here argue about them as if they actually mean something. Which they don't. They're determined by a private publication which makes money off of them. I take them with a grain of salt. </p>

<p>UCLA's ranking, or any other school's, has absolutely no bearing on my life. I'm almost done with this place, and I have a job, and my employer wouldn't care if UCLA is #4 or #40. It just doesn't matter. I didn't care about rankings before I had a job either because I was confident enough in my own abilities to succeed without having to lean on the arbitrarily desginated prestige of my school to impress people.</p>

<p>And frankly, it's kind of boring to see a bunch of kids arguing back and forth about rankings a couple places apart as if it will ever make a difference for anything. </p>

<p>Which it won't.</p>

10

<p>good for you</p>

11

<p>Pretty much.</p>

12

<p>God, can't you go back to the South Carolina forums where you belong?</p>

<p>In the latest news, USC has a better business school than USC. :rolleyes:</p>

U.S. News ranks USC No. 1 in international business for undergraduates;
first-year program gets accolades </p>

<p>The University of South Carolina is the nation’s best in undergraduate international business education, and its “First-Year Experiences” program for freshmen is also tops, according to U.S.News & World Report. </p>

<p>The Moore School of Business is 25th among public universities in "Best Business Programs." </p>

<p>USC’s undergraduate international-business program has been No. 1 in that specialty program since 1995. The Moore School's program leads New York University, the University of Michigan, the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and the University of California-Berkeley. Earlier this year, the Moore School's graduate international-business program was ranked No. 1 among public universities. </p>

<p>In its "Programs to Look For," the magazine highlights outstanding examples of academic programs that lead to student success. USC's popular University 101 program began in 1972 to introduce first-year students to life at Carolina and increase retention. In its fifth year of "Programs to Look For," the magazine ranked USC's successful programs for first-year students among those at Duke, Dartmouth, Princeton and Stanford universities. </p>

<p>The accolades for the university are timely. USC will launch "The Student Success Center," building on a supplemental academic program that began last year. New programs will be added to ensure academic success for all students, including first-year students. </p>

<p>In the magazine's ranking of "Best National Universities," USC is 54th among public institutions. National universities are in a group of 248 American universities (162 public and 86 private) that offer a wide range of undergraduate majors, as well master's and doctoral degrees. Criteria used for the rankings include student-faculty ratio, graduation and retention rates, alumni giving and SAT/ACT scores. </p>

<p>U.S. News also ranked USC Aiken 32nd in the South among "Best Comprehensive Colleges – Bachelor's." This category recognizes institutions that focus on undergraduate education and offer a range of degree programs in liberal arts and in professional fields such as business, nursing and education. U.S. News looked at 320 comprehensive colleges within four regions: North, South, Midwest and West. </p>

<p>The magazine will be on newsstands Monday, Aug. 21.
