The University of South Carolina: New business building combines innovation & sustainability

The Darla Moore School of Business at the University of South Carolina offers an exceptional and distinctive learning environment. All business students, including International Students, can expect a strong academic experience with a wide range of program options. There are nine undergraduate majors including the highly ranked International Business major, seven Master’s Programs and PhD programs. The Darla Moore School of Business is accredited by AACSB International and adheres to rigorous international standards.

Scheduled to be open in Jan 2014, just in time for the Spring semester, the Moore School of Business’s new home in the heart of the downtown Columbia, S.C. is a $100 million facility designed to be environmentally sustainable. "This new building is an incredible opportunity for the Moore School," said Dean Hildy Teegen. "Not only will we be designing a facility that will enhance learning, research, and collaboration with other organizations, we will also be raising the bar for innovation and energy efficiency in higher education facilities. Our goal is for others to join us and become sustainable enterprises, as well.”

The new facility will be as high performance as possible; much like the students it will be accommodating, allowing it to manifest the school’s new initiative of Sustainable Enterprise & Development. The goal of the Moore School is to achieve a minimum of a LEED Platinum rating, but it will pursue a rating of Net-Zero. Net-Zero energy buildings generate as much energy as they consume through efficiency technologies and on-site power generation.

Students can expect a learning environment composed of teachers, scholars and practitioners educated at many of the finest universities in the world. International students can also expect to meet outstanding students from the United States and all regions of the world. Students will find wide-ranging opportunities for research, service and campus-wide involvement.

The Moore School’s strong international links brings exchange students to campus from many of the top business schools in the world, while allowing International Business majors to spend a semester at these schools. The presence on campus of students from every continent creates a global environment which enriches the discussions in our courses.

Carolyn Jones, the assistant dean of the Moore School of Business, says, “Having group projects with internationally diverse team members prepares our students for the necessary skill of participating and managing cross-border project teams. Our students build a network of global contacts with future business leaders around the world, both through their own study abroad and by having those business leaders studying on our campus. Our strong faculty collaborates in global research projects with colleagues at partner schools, and brings that global understanding to the classroom with perspectives drawn from the latest practical and theoretical advances.” Dr. Jones has initiated numerous study abroad programs and strongly supports the school’s faculty-led overseas study programs to Africa, China and Eastern Europe.

Well-traveled faculty bring credible examples from their international experience to the classroom. Faculty experience in teaching at major foreign institutions creates a sensitivity to the learning styles of international students which enhances their classroom experience.

“The strength of the International Business major at the Darla Moore School of Business is built on providing knowledge and skills needed for global leadership.” Jones spearheaded and established the Moore School's Emerging Leaders Program, which recognizes the top 50 business student leaders and provides additional leadership training.

Students learn about global markets, global technology and cultural diversity while gaining country and regional specific knowledge. Outstanding international business faculty teaches students about multinational strategy and operations in the global environment. International Business majors also develop bilingual proficiencies that enable them to work with diverse cultures and teams.
