In terms of overall reputation nationally, I would say the University of South Carolina wins over UNC-Charlotte. It's MBA program is ranked #38 by the Financial Times and as such will receive a fair amount of attention nationally by recruiters versus UNC-Charlotte which will probably receive more attention from employers in the Atlanta-Charlotte corridor.

Well, wouldn't the Atlanta-Charlotte corridor consist of the larger banks and investment firms?

Not any more than any other large metro areas in the country. My point is if one wants more of a national scope in terms of potential hiring, U of South Carolina's reputation is more likely to provide that. For me I'd rather have variety of options and potential choice versus settling, but to each his own.
-If you were in your late 20's and trying to get into the finance/business industry, which school would you pick as an undergraduate?
i'm biased as a USC grad-- but i would pick USC, because I believe that a USC business degree carries more weight than a UNCC business degree; definitely in SC, and probably in NC and GA as well.
if you're talking about working in investment banking, though, I don't see how either school is going to put you in a solid position to achieve that. Investment banking is of course concentrated in the northeast.
i also don't think you will get any factual answers to your other questions.

It is true that northeast is full of large investment firms, but Charlotte has their fair share of firms. So I'm trying to figure out which school would have more networking in these firms.
Maybe not even investment banking. It can be the banking industry as a whole. I would more than likely start out as an analyst. Just want to have a greater chance of getting hired.
