California State University - Fullerton Reviews of Master's in Accounting

"Growing campus for the business/accounting field, lots of local business support"

"I thoroughly enjoy CSU Fullerton and all of the opportunities that have been afforded to me as a result. The professors are knowledgable and the opportunities are numerous. I have a magnetic vision and truly believe that the Accountancy program will equip me with the necessary tools to be successful in this ever-changing business environment. On its own merit, CSU Fullerton is a very competitive, respected, and structured institution that can meet the needs of any student especially a non-traditional student without an accounting background, like myself. Additionally, their special accreditation will ensure that I am able to participate in a competitive program where I will receive an unmatched educational experience and the chance to publish research, alongside exceptional recruitment opportunities from financial firms throughout my course of study. I look forward to contributing what makes CSU Fullerton so special, using world-class education and innovation as a tool to help businesses of every caliber grow, prosper, and thrive."

"Dear Prospective Student, This submission is to better assist you in making a life decision on higher education and bettering yourself for your future. I attended Cal State Fullerton's Mihaylo College of Business and Economics from 2009-2011. You would be looking forward to an amazing structure and foundation upon which you would flourish with like-minded students who are preparing themselves for the business world. Each and every one of the professors that I've been a student for at Cal State Fullerton, have engraved a little part of their teachings in my current business profession and in life. Cal State Fullerton's School of Business have provided me with the knowledge and strength that I needed for the real world. There, I learned how to better present myself in front of an audience, speak and enunciate my vocabulary, compile information and deliver presentations and reports in a business-like manner, and last but certainly not least, I learned the value of great and effective communication and business writing. All of these proficiencies that I have obtained from Cal State Fullerton have put me where I am today: Head of the HR and Legal Department of a very large Subway franchisee. The opportunities are vast and you are never limited in Mihaylo's College of Business and Economics; the professors and counselors will become your life mentors, and for some, even life friends. If you are unsure which direction you want to take with your career path, they can and will guide you. Words of Advice: Never doubt your abilities; you are always more than you think you are. Sincerely Yours, Jackie Yang Cal State Fullerton Alumni Currently enrolled in Graduate School"

"Being in the first semester of my graduate program, it is hard to give a fair overview. This is my assessment so far: the campus is clean, classes are not too far from the student parking structure, plenty of eateries within campus and around, close to shopping centers & freeway, highly reputable graduate programs (especially in business), sophisticated new business building, and helpful staff/faculty. Cons: the library could use a facelift, the neighborhood south of the campus does not seem safe, and transportation is not the best (of course, being a suburban area)."

"The master in accounting program of CSU Fullerton is most prestigious among CSU campuses. However, the program requires more prerequisite classes, which postpone my graduation date."

"PROs: The graduate program offers more than just courses to help students prepare for your career; there are numerous resources available to students to help them start building a network with business professionals that will become invaluable when students begin looking for a job after graduation. CONs: The graduate program charges an additional "Professional Program Fee" for any business-related major, the amount of which depends on the number of semester units taken. This fee is rather high and adds up very quickly."
