<p>Hi guys i was accepted to both programs as a transfer students...i'm just wondering which program is better....in terms of job prospect . I was thinking that it might be easier to get a job with a USC degree because of the networking...but Berkeley seems to have the edge in the quality of the program.. The cost is roughly the same for both schools after financial aid. </p>

<p>also, is it hard to find a job with an IEOR degree? and what types of job do IEOR graduates typically get?</p>

<p>i have to decide by tomrorow...thanks for all the response..</p>

<p>Message CalX ASAP! Also try sakky as he may be familiar with IEOR grads. You might also consider this page: <a href="http://career.berkeley.edu/Major/IEOR.stm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://career.berkeley.edu/Major/IEOR.stm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Also think about where you want to be for two years of your life, in Southern California a la downtown LA or Northern California a la Berkeley.</p>

<p>I'm kind of pretty busy lately at work, but a few quick points</p>

<p>-The concept of USC having better placement than Cal in business or engineering is kind of an urban myth. And outside of CA, Berkeley Engineering has a far better name. It helped get my first offer.</p>

<p>-Cal Engineering is definitely better than USC Engineering.</p>

<p>Too many job outlets for IEORs to describe, and many go on to get MBAs.</p>

<p>Go IEOR! I'm transferring from bioengineering to IEOR. It's funny that I would get "wows" whenever I say I major in bioE, and when I started to say IEOR it seems that many people have no idea what it is exactly...</p>

<p>i had no idea what IEOR was before my sophomore year either...</p>

<p>Hopefully employers will know... or become impressed because the name is so long therefore impressive :p</p>
