Where you went to school can be a factor if the hiring manager is a alumni of the same school.
I'd beg to differ on SCSU because many people in high places or notable people have graduated from their. But that is a different convo. And USC is still the best.

There really can't be that much argument between the schools since they both focus on or have different majors in which a select amount people want to go to. Many more people do business over engineering and the many other majors that Clemson has that USC doesn't.

Clemson has never focused on one thing or another. The business school is just as good as SC's they just don't do Darla Moore marketing for it.
Clemson does not have a dedicated business school and the programs are not as highly regarded as Carolina. And no, engineering is not Carolina's strongest program.

If you want to be an engineer/architect, Clemson offers a lot of programs that are not found at Carolina. Business, it's not close.

Clemson has a business school. I'm not sure what you mean by "dedicated".

I'd rather go to a business school not run by a Silver Spoon Gold Digger Woman myself. She knows about as much about business as Obama, or Hillary Clinton who made her wealth by giving dumb speeches other people wrote.

An engineering school is always the most challenging programs at the undergrad level. I would rank the chemistry and science programs above the business school too.

I know business is cake b/c all the dumb frat boys do that.
Well, that shows what you know about the business programs.

Clemson has a business school.....and the name is?

Are you saying b/c they combine the business programs with poli scie and "behavioral science" programs, it isn't a legit business school? lol dude, you are weird as hell sometimes.
You got it.

Being legit is irrelevant, Clemson does not have a stand alone business school.

Is an economics degree worth less if a poli sci program is offered within the same school? I'm skeptical.
Actually, no, it is not administrative. And yes, people do list the business school name on resumes.

I have noticed you are bit of a rigid thinker so I think Clemson is on to something here.
I really do have some serious questions. This is the USC thread, correct? There is a Clemson vs USC smack talk thread on the SC forum, correct? What is the point of you doing this on just the USC thread? When this thread is for updates, news, and progress for USC.

Honestly not many people on this forum give a rip about Clemson and could careless for what it has and offers.

I didn't bring up Clemson on here, I responded to somebody else, including one post in which somebody said that U of SC's mission is to educate people in SC, as though Clemson does not have that mission, which is an odd statement.

The smack talk thread is about football and i don't want to talk about that game from 6 months ago anymore.

It isn't realistic that you post a USC thread on a SC forum and no Clemson person has some comments. That is just part of living in SC.

By the way, I went to SC one semester so I am an alumni. I don't think you attend SC at all. You are a high school kid who still pedals a bike. What are you insights about a college you don't attend, as a high school kid?

U just pissed off I was able to show the reasoning behind Clemson's business program being set up as it is and obviously it is a superior set up to a business only setup. Clemson cross trains its young minds rather than pigeonhole them. Clemson produces renaissance men who can dabble in various things rather than the assembly line worker that SC produces.
And this thread is for supporting USC thank you very much. If you really do wanna talk smack about USC, go create a Clemson thread on the GSP forum.

This thread isn't on the SC forum. It's on the Columbia forum in which Columbia does hold host to the main USC campus.

Wow man, I can't even ride a bike, proves you wrong, which is why I have a car to drive. I believe both schools are great for different things but USC wins out overall. And I don't wanna go to either school thank you very much, NYU all the way.

If Clemson had a superior business program it seems like they would promote. USC is known for business and is getting noticed medical things and Clemson known for engineering and other urban structuring more. Both schools produce great people for different things.

It's amazing how you think USC produces assembly line people when most of the majors are for the office. Clemson produces way more industrial workers. The upstate is filled with industry while the midlands has more office then the upstate.

As far as engineering is concerned, I hear it depends on what area of engineering you want to go into - in the USC vs. Clemson debate.
