I chose UC Davis because I want to work in Bay Area, expand my networks, and be close to my family.
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.
