The Merage Difference
The 21st century is a time of unprecedented economic and technological change. Today’s
successful companies and the top organizations of the future are those able to anticipate
change, position themselves accurately in their respective marketplaces, and capitalize on it.
Every business must recognize and confront a global economy that presents increasing
opportunities and competitive threats.
The challenge for graduate schools of business, as they address those future global
marketplaces, is not just to impart the fundamentals but teach how to apply them to the
dynamic world of business. The Paul Merage School of Business is meeting this challenge by
structuring our programs around three key business drivers:
■ strategic innovation
■ analytics and information technology
■ collaborative execution
Our faculty and MBA curriculum are ideally aligned to provide the knowledge and skills that
MBAs need to lead innovation wherever they go in their careers. The Merage difference is
founded on our reputation for expertise in how information technology is transforming the
practice of management. It is a pioneering approach that will ensure that our graduates will
be leaders of strategic growth for years to come.
RECOGNIZED FOR EXCELLENCE
The Merage School offers four dynamic MBA
programs teaching leadership through in-class
and on-site experiences with real-world
business problems. While the School is
relatively young, it consistently ranks among
the top 10% of all AACSB-accredited
programs through exceptional student
recruitment, world-class faculty and close
ties to the business community. In 2008,
the Merage School was ranked 38th in the
U.S., 3rd for IT and 5th for E-Commerce
globally by the Financial Times, 44th
nationally and 20th among public institutions
by U.S. News and World Report. Our Full-
Time MBA program was ranked in the top
50 globally by BusinessWeek in 2008.

The Merage MBA is a two-year, full-time general
management program that emphasizes experiential
learning and provides students multiple opportunities
to complete quarter-long, real-time consulting projects
with industry-leading corporations.
The first year of the program focuses on fundamental
management concepts with core courses in Financial
and Managerial Accounting, Corporate Finance,
Information Systems, Management Science, Marketing,
Microeconomics, Organizational Analysis, Operations
Management, and Statistics that help to deepen
knowledge of the functional areas of business.
Students also take several elective courses during
their first year to begin tailoring their educational
experience to their specific career goals.
The second year builds on this foundation, allowing
students to customize their degree with elective
courses in a variety of functional disciplines.
Throughout both years of study, students have the
opportunity to network with industry leaders, learn
about leading-edge business practices, and strengthen
their functional knowledge through the Merage
Centers of Excellence. These six centers are gateways
to the business community, bringing together students,
faculty, and industry professionals to promote
learning and scholarship. The centers focus on the
following specialties:
■ Innovation and Entrepreneurship
■ Health Care Management and Policy
■ Information Technology and Organizations
■ Investment and Wealth Management
■ Global Leadership and Team Development
■ Real Estate
To enhance their knowledge of global business
practices, students have the opportunity to study
abroad through our exchange programs with top
business schools throughout the world. They may
also take elective courses on global strategy that
culminate in week-long visits to key global business
centers outside the United States.

Merage Professional MBA Programs
In addition to our full-time program, Merage
enrolls nearly 600 working professionals in the
following programs:
Fully Employed MBA Program (FEMBA)
Designed to meet the needs of working
professionals, the FEMBA program is 27-33
months in length, and provides the strengths of
our full-time program on a part-time basis.
Executive MBA Program (EMBA)
The EMBA program is designed for experienced,
senior-level professionals. Ranked as the top
executive MBA program on the west coast, this
21-month program emphasizes a functionally
integrated approach for senior-level management.
Health Care Executive MBA Program (HCEMBA)
The HCEMBA program is a 24-month business
program designed to assist experienced health
care professionals with becoming effective senior
managers and leaders in the healthcare industry.
“The Paul Merage School of Business at UC Irvine
provides an exceptional education that prepares students
to become the next generation of business leaders.”

On-Campus Recruiting Procedures
The Merage MBA Career Center offers customized recruiting services so you can make the most of your recruiting efforts. Your entire recruiting process is managed
through our online recruiter services website. You will use this site to post and maintain your job descriptions and company contact information, access the resume
databases, request your recruiting and presentation dates, monitor real-time student sign-ups for your schedules, download resumes, select candidates for interviews,
and keep an ongoing history of your recruiting activities at the Merage School.
Once you have registered and requested your dates,
you will receive a confirmation email. It will contain
your user name and password to the On-Campus
Interview Administrative portal, your date
confirmations, and other important information
about your proposed recruiting activity. Your user
name and password will provide you with access to
all of the online functions necessary to manage your
on-campus recruiting activities with us.
Job Descriptions
All recruiting begins with the submission of a detailed
job description that includes an overview of your firm,
position responsibilities, and candidate requirements.
For on-campus recruiting we request your job
descriptions be submitted four to six weeks prior to
your preferred recruiting dates. Recruiting schedules
become active for student sign-ups only after
complete job descriptions are received by our office.
To Begin the Process | REGISTER ONLINE AT RECRUIT.MERAGE.UCI.EDU
Interview Schedules
On-campus recruiting is one of the most effective ways
to recruit MBAs at Merage. Interviews are scheduled
Monday through Friday and typically run from 9:00 am
to 5:00 pm in the MBA Career Center. Extended hours
are available upon request. Refreshments are provided
throughout the day and lunch is provided for full-day
schedules. Interview schedules may be customized to
accommodate the length of interviews you prefer. Let
us know your special needs when you request your
recruiting dates and we will accommodate you.
Second Round Interviews
Second round interviews typically take place at the
employer’s location. However, the MBA Career Center
may also be used. We recommend that you coordinate
your second round interviews with our academic
calendar to ensure that you avoid scheduling
conflicts that may cause students to miss class.
Job Offers
We believe it is important to allow candidates
adequate time to make thoughtful decisions on job
offers. It is important that the student and the
company negotiate a mutually agreeable time frame
for considering and making a career decision. We
recommend giving graduating students until January
30th or at least three weeks from the time a written
offer is provided, whichever is later. First-year
students should be given until March 15, or at least
one week from the time a written offer is provided,
which ever is longer, to decide on an internship offer.
Contact Us
Please contact us at 949.824.8464 with any
questions you may have throughout the recruiting
process.

“The Merage School
provides the competitive
advantage its graduates
will need to be successful
in this complex and ever
changing business world.”
Ed Fuller
President & Managing Director
Marriott International Lodging
Recruiting International Students
The Merage School takes pride in our ability to attract
top MBA talent from around the world. Our
international students comprise nearly 30% of our
student population. They have graduated from top
universities in their home countries, have unique
multiple language capabilities, cross-national
perspectives, and functional and industry expertise.
Do not let concerns over the visa process prevent you
from hiring the best and brightest graduates available.
U.S. law provides several ways for employers to hire
international MBA students and graduates.
Curricular Practical Training and Internships
Curricular Practical Training (CPT) provides international
students holding an F-1 visa authorization to work at
paid, full-time summer internships and part-time jobs
during the second year of their MBA program.
Employers go through the same process needed for
hiring domestic students. However, students must
enroll in a special course to meet the CPT eligibility
requirements.
Optional Practical Training and Full-Time
Employment After Graduation
Optional Practical Training (OPT) provides international
students holding an F-1 visa authorization to work in the
U.S. for up to 12 months following graduation on either
a full or part-time basis. As with CPT there is no special
paperwork or additional requirements for the employer
during the hiring process. Students must obtain a work
card from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service
(USCIS) to be eligible for this option.
H-1B Visas
During the OPT period, employers can choose to
extend a graduate’s work assignment by sponsoring
them for a work visa. The H-1B is the most popular
work visa available to international graduates. The
employer must submit a visa petition to the USCIS and
approvals can take as little as two weeks. Normal
processing times can vary depending on the work
location. However, the USCIS has a 15-day premium
processing option for an extra filing fee.
