The University of South Carolina’s Moore School of Business is the best in the country for an undergraduate education in international business, according to U.S. News & World Report’s 2009 "America’s Best Colleges" guide.

This marks the 12th year the undergraduate international business program has been ranked No. 1, placing it ahead of other prestigious programs such as Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and Stern School of Business at New York University.
