Paul Merage School of Business

Hi everyone! I know that there is already a post earlier in regards to UC Irvine’s Business School, but I just wanted to know more about it’s academic curriculum and in specific, finance. Although I have submitted my SIR to UCI, I am still weighing in on my final decision in comparison to another college in the east coast that I was admitted to through WL.

If there is anybody well informed about the program, I have a few questions that I would like to know, if possible.

  1. In terms of class size, how many students should I be expecting in a GE class and how many in the classes the year after for classes of my intended major?
  2. Are the academics as rigorous and competitive as they are said to be?
  3. How would the networking and internship opportunities at UCI compare to a college towards the east coast for finance?

If there are any more details that you’d like to add about this program, please do inform me. I would love to hear more about this department and what it could offer me as a whole.

Thank you!
