Pursuing an MPAc degree at the UC Davis Graduate School of Management was one of the best choices I've ever made. As an international student, the MPAc prepared me for a US accounting career and laid the foundation for my future career as a CPA. I also enjoyed post-pandemic school life, being able to meet professors face-to-face and build real friendships with my classmates.
I believe that a person can reinvent themselves at any stage of their life and the MPAc program is helping me do just that. With such a highly respected staff of educators and lecturers at a world-renowned school, I couldn’t hope for better mentors or community of like-minded individuals to prepare me for my new career. The MPAc program is a great place to fortify your accounting knowledge base as well as meet life-long friends.
As an accounting major background student, I knew that the MPAc program was a great fit for me to join because I believe in our amazing faculty team is working towards the same goals that aligned with us; to prepare us to be successful with our future career in accounting. The MPAc program provided many opportunities to us that I never thought I would. Catching these opportunities and succeeding really gave me lots of confidence.

I used to live on the east coast of U.S. and when my fiancé decided to move to the west coast I did a lot of searching for west coast universities. Among so many schools, UC Davis quickly caught my eye. I had a few good friends who had graduated from UC Davis, so I learned about the MPAc program from talking to them. UC Davis is in a great location and has very good job opportunities. Besides, the small class sizes make me feel safe since the professors pay attention to each student.
UC Davis is well-known as the epicenter of the food and agriculture technology start-up ecosystem. There are world-renowned researchers, institutes, entrepreneurs, and venture capitalists all circling one another daily. So, when it came to decide on where I should go for my MBA, the UC Davis Graduate School of Management was my number one choice.
