About the Darla Moore School of Business
Best known for its innovations in international business education and research, the Darla Moore School of Business has a history of preparing business leaders for the ever-changing global marketplace through a blend of academic rigor and real-world experience.

According to U.S. News & World Report, the Darla Moore School's international business major has been No. 1 since undergraduate rankings began, and its International MBA program has ranked No. 1 or 2 for 20 consecutive years. In 2010, the Financial Times ranked the Moore School as best business school in the world for “international experience.” In the annual report, Moore’s MBA program also ranks second in the “International Business” subject area category.

In 1998, Moore became the nation's first major business school to be named for a woman, University of South Carolina alumna and financier, Darla Moore. Ms. Moore's combined gifts of $70 million make the School of Business the beneficiary of the University of South Carolina's largest private donation.

In 2007, Dr. Hildy Teegen, the school's first female dean, initiated the development of a new strategic focus to complement the school's leadership in international business. The new strategic focus: sustainable enterprise and development. One of the Moore School's first steps toward implementing this strategy was the 2008 launch of the Page Prize for Sustainability Issues in Business Curricula.
