I have found that students from the accounting program and almost all of the
engineers have had ease with getting a good job. Recruiting for accounting
majors is done early in the school year and is generally with the big four as
well as a few others. I know many that have had multiple offers from accreditted
firms. A good GPA can be key here, but if you have it, there isn't much question
as to whether you will be offered a job. Engineers on the other hand seem to
have quite an easy time finding good jobs too. While I am not an engineer, I
know many who have graduated and gone on to good, high paying jobs. From my
experience with these people, if you are smart enough to pass the classes in good
accademic standing, your GPA doesn't mean nearly as much as business students.
Internships, and the career center are still gaining steam. While both are not
bad, they can be very frustrating to work with at times. The career center
esepecially, while they want to see everyone get a good job and work fairly hard
at it, will be ify with returning phone calls and are known to give students a
hard time for not coming in sooner. Because of this, many students continue not
to go in because they don't want to be lectured like the department is their
parents.
Finally, the prestige of the University is really starting to come around.
Almost anyone in the NW and northern CA thinks highly of the university.
(Speaking from a business standpoint.) Personally, I have not found, nor heard
of anyone not getting the same consideration that schools like Stanford receive.
(On the West Coast.)
