UIUC的MSBA的就业信息分享

问了program manager，人家很详细的回复了我，我觉得很多信息还蛮有用的。全文贴出如下：
Hi 楼主我,

We currently do not have a lot of placement data, as the program is so new (this is the second year).

Our first cohort was quite small at 19 students. Of those 19 students, 6 received either full-time positions or internships upon graduation. One of those students began an internship that led to a full-time position. The remaining students returned to China, which for many was their intention upon entering the program.

Our current cohort is a little larger at 43 students. At current, we have about 10 students who are not actively seeking employment, as they will be staying an extra semester to complete a minor concentration in IT. One of our students was just offered an internship in San Francisco at a start-up company. There is a large contingent within this group that intend to return to China to seek employment. We also have about 8 students who are in the job search process right now.

The advice we give to you upon entering the program is to start very early in planning out your job search. The Business Career Services Center provides assistance in building a job search plan, perfecting your resume, practicing and honing interview skills and further preparing you for your employment search. You are assigned a career counselor that is there to help you to that end. Also, a five-week workshop has been incorporated into one of your required classes during the fall semester to touch on all aspects of job search and interview preparation. The College of Business also has an online service called I-Link that all students have access to; this site is the repository for all job and internship listings for the College of Business.

We are very honest with our international students: it is harder for international students to find full-time employment in the US because of sponsorship concerns. However, many of our motivated students are able to overcome that hurdle and find ways to secure internships or employment. The ownership for that is largely on the student; our task as an institution is to come alongside you with the resources you need to work toward your goals.

This was a bit of a long response. I hope I answered your questions. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask. Thanks!

Best,

Michelle L. Lewis

提炼点有用的信息1，第一年只有19个人，现在这届43个。（我猜今年应该比43要多吧，估计60，70？）
2，第一届有一个拿到了full－time了，6个找到实习。
3，这一届10个人在读IT的minor，所以还没毕业，说明可以读minor延长项目时间，自己感觉是不是读IT的minor比较有助于找工作？
4，这一届目前1人拿到实习，8人还在找，其他大部分是打算回中国的。
5，MSBA有workshop，有专门的assistant帮忙，有专门的平台发布就业信息等。
6，之前面试的时候问过，Michelle解释了下中国学生比较多的问题，然后说这届开始多放重心招本土学生。：

感觉她回答的很诚恳，而且学校也的确很用心在这上面下功夫的感觉。楼主有其他的选择，会尽早decline。但提供一点信息供参考。
