WUSTL DUAL DEGREE 面试官gary，对于该项目的介绍。

这是我发邮件问的一些问题，希望对大家有帮助，也希望更多的人能与两个学校的老师联系，与大家分享！

Thanks for your message.  I’ll do my best to answer your questions.  Regarding the degree you will receive from Olin Business School:  you will receive that Master of Science in Finance (MSF,) which is the exact same degree as is awarded to students in our current academic year programs.  The two tracks of MSF at Olin during the academic year do not contain exactly the same set of courses; but students all receive the same Master of Science in Finance degree.  Keep in mind that you also will be receiving a masters degree from Singapore Management University, so that at the end of your 14 months of study you will have two degrees, not one (see the attached FAQ document again on that.)  You will have taken a total of 50% more course work between the two degrees than you would have taken in either degree alone, so that, if anything, you will look to employers to be better prepared than students receiving a single masters degree from either Olin or SMU.



The Director of Olin’s Weston Career Center will be communicating with the people in SMU’s Career Center about how best to promote the new dual degree program with companies through the Asia-Pacific region.  Our Director travels to Asia in June every year to visit companies with which we have relationships.  This year he will be introducing the new dual degree program to our contacts throughout Asia.  This will help significantly in building the reputation of this new dual degree program.  



We anticipate that the quality of this program will be every bit as high as anything we offer during the regular academic year.  The course work all will be taught by our regular finance faculty; and the quality of the students being admitted is exceptionally strong.  You probably are aware that a large number of faculty from SMU did their Ph.D studies at Olin Business School.  This gives us a very high degree of confidence about the quality of the course work they will deliver during your time in Singapore.



It is possible that a few of our current MSF students who are enrolled in our academic year programs may take some of the courses in which our dual degree students will be enrolled this summer, although it’s unlikely that there would be very many current students doing this.  The courses being offered in the first summer of your dual degree program are ones that our current students should have completed last year.  We do expect that some of our continuing students will be working for our faculty as teaching assistants, so that will be one way in which all of our dual degree students will get to know current students.  



I have sent a message to a colleague in Washington University’s Office of International Students & Scholars to ask the question about the length of your visa and how long you could remain in the US after graduation in the second summer.  I’ll advise you about that once I know the answer.  You would be able to re-enter Singapore on a visit pass to pursue job opportunities there if you need to do that after the second summer at Olin.  However, my advice is that you start your job search early during the academic year you’ll be spending in Singapore, and try to have a job offer by the time you return to St. Louis for your second summer.  If you work hard at your job search early, there’s every reason to think that you could have an offer before you return to Olin for the final summer of study.  You can always apply for jobs in Singapore online no matter where you are; and if a company wants to invite you to interview, you could then enter Singapore on a visit pass.  


I’ve heard from our Office of International Students and Scholars regarding the visa question you raised.  You would be permitted to remain in the US for 60 days after the completion of your studies, so long as you remain in the US and don’t go outside of the country.  In the first summer of the program, you won’t be staying in the US very long after the completion of your course work, because you’re going to need to relocate to Singapore for the beginning of your academic year there.  After the second summer, in Summer 2014, you could stay in the US for a bit to vacation if you wish.  How long you do that might depend on the status of your job search.  Ideally, students will have looked for jobs during their year in Singapore and may have been offered a position to start early in the fall.  Okay?  Best regards.
