Hello! I had a question. So I’m pretty bummed I didn’t get into the schools I wanted but I want to do accounting for sure.
Is it worth it to go to UCR or CSUF for accounting? I read some threads and they said it would be better to go to CSUF but also UCR’s business school is doing pretty well right now. I pay around the same amount for both of them so the cost does not concern me at all. It’s just that people look down on you going to UCR and a Cal State. To be honest I don’t mind but it might affect my chances of getting a better job in the future.
I was also considering going to CSUF and then transferring to UCI, UCB, or USC, but I’m not sure at the moment.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Sorry, I put this in the wrong section but if anyone from UCI can help me, it would be greatly appreciated.
Both CSUF and UCR Business schools are well respected and you will get a good education at either school. No one will look down on you for taking advantage of the opportunities you have been given. Check out the career center for each school and see which employers recruit from each.
‘Worth it’ is a pretty subjective concept. 10 years from now you won’t find yourself apologizing for an accounting degree from either. Since your cost is similar, it is simply your personal preference. Spend some time on both campuses, talk to some students and see where you think you fit best… There’s no wrong choice here.
I’d add that transferring into Biz at UCI, UCB or USC is pretty unlikely, regardless of where you earn your first 60 units.
