We encourage our students to visit the Career Center and take advantage of the many opportunities they provide.

Recruitment Opportunities

Each semester the Big Four and mid-tier accounting firms, as well as several other companies come to campus for a networking event called Meet the Firms. Recruiters from each of these firms bring around 20 staff members (usually alumni), giving students the opportunity to ask questions and learn about what it's really like to work in accounting. This evening event takes place at the California Science Center, and the required attire is business professional.
