校友反馈:
MPAc到今年是第三年,但是在湾区的口碑已经很不错。会计项目,包括其他商科项目,很注重alumni,和业界的联系,ucd跟北加州的大中小会计事务所都有不错的关系,相信时间长了,这个alumni connection会更加强。
☀ 项目大小
今年mpac一共47人,11人国际生(不含绿卡,都是中国人)。剩下的都是美国人,大家的背景也很不同,商科非商科的都有,一部分有工作经验,让上课的气氛比较活跃。
☀ 大家最关心的就业率
今年国际生到现在为止6人找到工作,6/11,大家自己看咯。其中3个同学拿到不止一家的offer噢!虽然主要的招聘在秋季结束了,但春季也还有机会,所以到毕业的时候会更高。而且还有两三个已经定了想回国工作,也就没有在这边找。还是那句话,真正想留的就一定能留下。考虑到这些因素就业率在会计硕士项目里已经超赞,当然除了第一梯队nd wfu大神校我们就不比了~喜欢加州的同学请不要犹豫。
davis在九月有meet the firms event,附近的所有四大,中型,小型firm都会过来招人,之后进行面试。我们都是通过秋季校招找到工作的。这届国际生到现在为止找到的都是big4,去年留下的学长学姐也有进national/regional firm的。进四大都是audit,tax,相对audit更多一些。davis的位置确实比较偏,公交能到市内买东西的各个地方,davis本来就是college town, 很小的。如果喜欢经常往外跑可以考虑买车,开车到sacramento二十分钟,sf一个半小时到两个小时。
☀ 关于OPT
因为项目只有九个月,没有cpt,项目结束后有12个月的opt。9-12月四大的秋季招聘,9月开始申请,10月给一面,之后陆续面试,大部分offer会在感恩节之前发。春季补招机会非常少。比如说我们这届,就是15年的8/9月开始工作。h1b如果15年4月能抽到,8-9月用opt,10月开始h1b。如果没抽到,16年还能再抽一次。超过12个月的opt用opt extension。
☀ 课程安排
9个月,3个quarter,秋冬春,6月毕业。每个quarter有四门课,但也没有太紧张。教授们人都很nice,不会有太枯燥的学习和课堂环境。
