Student Media MAGAZINE we won’t be silent. New business dean to focus on reaccreditation by Charles Prashaw The Gamecock . The new dean of the Darla Moore School of Business will have plenty to keep him busy in his first few months as dean. '' One of the challenges Joel Smith faces is the accreditation of the business school. Last year, the International Association of Management Education, which reviews business schools’ ac creditation every ten years, visited the school. The group of reviewers listed six areas in which the school was below par. On April 8 of last year, the accreditation board placed the busi ness school under a three-year continual review, at the end of which the board will decide whether to renew the school’s accreditation or suspend it. Smith said the two most important areas the accreditation board was concerned about at the time was the lack of a permanent dean and the school's $400,000 deficit. Both those problems have been solved, Smith said. "I'm spending a lot of time on that [the deficit] to make sure it doesn't happen again. We have got the support of the administration concern ing that," he said. Another area that needs improvement, ac cording to Smith, is graduates’ job placement. Smith said some programs at the business school are respected by outside companies, while oth ers don't have the same prestige and respect. "We need to work on gaining recognition among people and companies that hire business graduates," he said. "We are not placing gradu ates like we should compared to our peer group." Smith said the business school should also work on its connection to the state’s and the na tion's business community. "Our relationship to the external business community is not as strong as it should be," he said. Although "how good the business school is" isn't part of the criteria for membership into the Association of American Universities, Palms and the administration have made it clear that I the business school's status plays an importanl role in the process. Part of that reason is that most members ol the AAU raise a lot more money than USC does through endowments and personal gifts. And the business school leads the university in raising money through these two outlets. While Smith said he couldn't say whethei joining the AAU will make USC a better uni versity, he did say, "There aren't any AAU schools that don't have a really good business school — that isn't just by coincidence." The Darla Moore School of Business has earned national and international recognition particularly for its international business pro gram. For the past 11 years, the school's gradu ate program in international business has beer ranked No. 1 or 2 in U.S. News and World Re port. The magazine also has ranked the under graduate program No. 1, and the business school 51st. Recently, the school earned two prestigious rankings. The Financial Times of London ranked the business school 34th in the world, and a study by professors at the universities of Georgia and Hlinois and Southern Methodist University ranked the school 30th nationally in research produc tivity. But the real question is: Can graduates from the school compete with graduates from business schools at UNC-Chapel Hill, the Uni versity of Virginia and the University of Geor gia for jobs? "We have a shot to be in that league," Smith said. "But one of things it will take to get there is money, make no mistake about it. “It's probably unrealistic to think we can com pete with some of the larger private colleges, but we can compete with most of the public schools," he said.
