Our review
Clemson’s business school rides the I-85 manufacturing corridor: BMW Spartanburg — the company’s biggest plant globally — plus Michelin’s North American headquarters built an upstate supplier economy that hires the MBA’s operations and supply-chain graduates steadily. A Greenville satellite campus puts evening classes where the jobs are.
