USC.PM or Kelley

[victoryk]

Hello,

I have received admission for the USC.PM (part time) and Kelley full-time programs. I initially applied for the part-time program at USC for financial reasons, after submission I wanted to switch my application to the full-time program but was too late.

I have been in public accounting for 6 years, wanting to transition into corporate finance. I realize full time programs are the way to go if you are switching companies, but am having second thoughts. I ultimately want to stay in CA and from what I hear, regardless of being in the part time program at USC, the network in CA will give me access to more opportunities than Indiana, Kelley would.

Any input would help

Thanks!

Hi and thanks for your post. I agree that the networking opportunities that USC can offer in California are likely greater than those you can get through Kelley. My advice is to contact the career office at both schools and discuss your specific post MBA plans. They can provide you with specifics in regard to industry, companies and even geographic hiring stats. This will certainly help you make an informed decision.

Best of luck,

Stacey
