The Merage School Business ProgramsInspired Leadership, Digitally DrivenAs our lives become more digitally mediated, we must adapt both ourselves and our businesses for the disruption inherent in the digital
environment. With this vision in mind, The Paul Merage School of Business has completely reframed its curricula to give students the
high-caliber, holistic preparation they need to become effective leaders in a digitally-driven world.
Top industry executives continually provide the Merage School input on how they see their respective industries changing through the
impact of technology. Our transformed curricula reflect new business needs in the contemporary world, focusing on actionable ideas and
building a new set of competencies suited to the digital age. Experience-based decision-making skills are integrated into the curriculum
with data-driven decision-making at the forefront. Experiential learning components continue to provide real-world education, allowing
teams of students to immerse themselves in valuable projects with area companies.
Full-Time MBA (FTMBA)FTMBA is an experientially based, 2-year general management
program that provides solid training in core business areas
including finance, marketing, information technology, strategy and
operations with a focus on digital transformation. Through elective
courses and certificate programs, deeper knowledge is developed
in function or industry specialties. Students in this program
average five or more years of professional work experience and
come from locations around the globe.

The program can be completed in 24 to 33 months and provides

Recruiting International StudentsThe Merage School takes pride in our ability to attract top
MBA and MS talent from around the world. Our international
students comprise over 40% of our student population. They
have graduated from top universities in their home countries,
have unique multiple language capabilities, cross-national
perspectives, and functional and industry expertise.
Do not let concerns over the visa process prevent you from
hiring the best and brightest graduates available. U.S. law
provides several ways for employers to hire international MBA
and MS students and graduates.
Curricular Practical Training and InternshipsCurricular Practical Training (CPT) provides students holding
an F-1 visa authorization to work at paid, full-time summer
internships and part-time jobs during the second year of
their MS or MBA program. Employers go through the same
process needed for hiring domestic students and are required
to provide an offer letter outlining the details of employment.
Students submit paperwork to the UCI International Student
Center and enroll in a special course to meet the CPT eligibility
requirements.
Optional Practical Training and Full-Time Employment after GraduationOptional Practical Training (OPT) provides students holding an
F-1 visa authorization to work in the U.S. for up to 12 months
following graduation on either a full or part-time basis and up
to 36 months for STEM certified programs (MSEM, MSBTM,
MSBA). As with CPT there are no special requirements for the
employer during the hiring process just a detailed offer letter
and the completion of the I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification
form. Students must obtain a work authorization card (EAD) by
graduation from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service
(USCIS) to be eligible for this option.
H-1B Visas and Longer Term, Full-Time EmploymentDuring the OPT period, employers can choose to extend a
graduate’s work assignment by sponsoring them for a work visa.
The H-1B is the most popular work visa available to international
graduates and provides work authorization in three-year
increments for up to a total of six-years. The employer must
submit a visa petition to the USCIS. Petitions may be submitted
as early as April 1 of each year but no sooner that 6-months
before the employment start date. Normal processing times can
vary. The USCIS offers a 15-day premium processing option for
an extra filing fee.

On-Campus Recruiting Procedures for MBA, MSEM, MSBTM, MFin & MSBAThe Merage School Career Center offers customized recruiting
services so you can make the most of your recruiting efforts.
Recruiter Dashboard Your entire recruiting process is managed through our online
recruiter services website. You will use this site to post
and maintain your job descriptions and company contact
information, access the resume databases, request your
recruiting and presentation dates, monitor real-time student
sign-ups for your scheduled events, download resumes, select
candidates for interviews, and keep an ongoing history of your
recruiting activities at the Merage School.
Once you have registered and requested your dates, you
will receive a confirmation email. It will contain your date
confirmations and other important information about your
proposed recruiting activity including deadline dates for
submitting job descriptions, downloading resumes of interested
candidates, selecting your candidates and finalizing your
interviewing schedule. You will also use this system to schedule
information sessions, track and store all job postings with us.
Job DescriptionsAll recruiting begins with the submission of a detailed job
description that includes an overview of your firm, position
responsibilities, and candidate requirements. For on-campus
recruiting we request your job descriptions be submitted four
to six weeks prior to your preferred recruiting dates. Recruiting
schedules become active for student sign-ups only after
complete job descriptions are received by our office.
Interview SchedulesOn-campus recruiting is one of the most effective ways to recruit
talent at the Merage School. Interviews are scheduled Monday
through Friday and typically run from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. in
the Career Center. Extended hours are available upon request.
Refreshments are provided throughout the day and lunch is
provided for full-day schedules. Interview schedules may be
customized to accommodate the length of interviews you prefer.
Let us know your special needs when you request your recruiting
dates and we will accommodate you.
Second Round InterviewsSecond round interviews typically take place at the employer’s
location. However, the Career Center may also be used. We
recommend that you coordinate your second round interviews
with our academic calendar to ensure that you avoid scheduling
conflicts that may cause students to miss class, mid-terms or
final exams
Job OffersWe believe it is important to allow candidates adequate time
to make thoughtful decisions on job offers. It is important that
the student and the company negotiate a mutually agreeable
time frame for considering and making a career decision. We
recommend giving graduating students until December 1st or
at least three weeks from the time a written offer is provided,
whichever is later. First-year students should be given until
February 15th, or at least one week from the time a written offer
is provided, which ever is longer, to decide on an internship offer.
Contact UsPlease contact us at 949.824.8464 with any questions you may
have throughout the recruiting process.
Please visit our website for the most current information as there
may be calendar updates throughout the year.

UC Irvine Accounting Recruiting Policies2018-19 Recruiting Season Recruiting services for Accounting candidates are provided jointly by the Merage School Career Center and the UCI Career Center
allowing organizations to recruit all business career focused students regardless of academic major. All firms are expected to review and
follow the UC Irvine Career Center Recruitment Policies as well as the UC Irvine Accounting Recruiting Policies to create consistency
across accounting firms that recruit at UCI and to ensure fairness in the recruiting process for students.
Job DescriptionsAlthough undergraduate and MPAc students may interview on
the same schedule, separate positions should be posted for
each degree level. MPAc students are considered new students
regardless of where they completed their undergraduate studies
and therefore have no GPA. When posting positions for MPAc job
posting(s) screening criteria for GPA should be left blank.
Student Interview Eligibility Master in Professional Accountancy (MPAc) students may
interview during the Fall Recruiting Season for either a full-time
position or a winter internship. Graduating seniors may interview
during the Fall Recruiting Season for either a full-time position or
a summer internship if they plan on attending a masters program.
Based on their acceptance into a program, each firm may decide
to extend full time offers or summer internship offers.
Second Round InterviewsEmployers scheduling second-round interviews are expected
to give a minimum of three (3) full business days’ notice of a
second-round interview in an off-campus location (Example: for a
Wednesday interview, students must be notified by the previous
Thursday.) In all cases, employers must offer alternative dates,
without negative consequences, for a second-round interview if
the date originally suggested by the Employer interferes with a
student’s first-round interview on campus, an exam, or other valid
appointment. Students are not permitted to cancel first-round
interviews to attend second-round interviews. Students who do
so face suspension of their campus recruiting privileges.
Job OffersUpon the conclusion of summer internships, the firms may issue
full time employment offers to their own interns. No full-time
offers may be extended in tandem with a summer internship
offer. Students are encouraged to decline a firm’s offer as soon
as they have decided they will not accept that offer. This may be
communicated via email, indicating which firm’s full time offer was
accepted (if it is known at the time.)
Firms will not approach another firm’s interns or invite them to
summer recruiting events during the summer internship period.
Exceptions to these policies relate to programs that firms
sponsor to increase the number of underrepresented minority
candidates in the accounting profession.
Summer Leadership Programs (SLP) Firms may extend a full-time offer to SLP participants entering
their senior year or the MPAc program. They may extend a winter
or summer internship offer to SLP participants following the
established SLP deadlines. Students who participate in the SLP
programs may by-pass the on-campus interviews, and be invited
directly for an in-house interview as part of the regular winter/
summer internship or full-time hiring timeline.
Student Accounting Organizations And Firm-Sponsored Events We encourage the firms to work with the student accounting
organizations to sponsor events where students and firm
representatives have the opportunity to gain more knowledge
about the firm culture and clients.
