See a lot of problems about ERM project. It can be roughly divided into the following aspects:

1.SPs (school of professional study), translated as vocational education college, further evolved into continuing education college, adult education college, and formal college are two different things. Others see this college and pass it directly. If the resume fails, it will not be recognized or certified.

2. The teacher of this project is a part-time person, not a full-time professor at Columbia University.

The class time of this project is in the evening, which is an evening school.

The course of this project is very simple, you can't learn anything, and it is difficult to find a job in America.

5. The professional service of this project is poor, and it can't enter the CCE system of Columbia University. Only an independent college provides vocational services. Without graduates, it will be more difficult to open channels.

For the first question, I believe everyone is also the most entangled, that is, this college.

Not to mention that the most convincing translation now is a professional research institute. Even a vocational college really doesn't matter. First of all, no one will read it, especially American companies and China companies. Among these predecessors' replies, only one said that "the college has a certain influence, but at least in the United States, there is basically no HR to ask which college it is", and others unanimously said that this is the least worrying issue, and job hunting will never be affected by this. The successful employment case of this project (especially domestic employment) is the best proof.

China Accreditation Center for Studying Abroad clearly stipulates: First, as long as it is not a branch school (this is not California, nor UNC-, UT-, UMD-, etc.), it will be accredited. Second, only three items will be certified: university name, degree name (master of science, master of literature, master of engineering, etc. ) and professional name. The college will not be written in the certification certificate. The landlord has read the certificates of other universities after certification, and there is really no information about the college.

According to the second question, all the professors at Columbia University are part-time workers in the industry.

Is it important to be a full-time professor at Columbia University? Aren't the teachers in many universities in China all independent directors of the company? Aren't there many teachers who regard teaching in colleges and universities as a sideline, and the source of profit is foreign water? And these people are all doctoral students, that's for sure, so at least don't worry about their academic level.

From the perspective of HR, it should be impossible for anyone to care whether the professor is full-time or not, and whether the professor has external moisture. In addition, if you have the professional experience of these professors, you can learn a lot of applied knowledge.

The third question, the class time is in the evening, which is night school.

Some business school projects (such as UMD) are taught at night, and some engineering school projects (such as NWU) are taught at night, which is the same as a two-hour class. The content of the class will not be cut corners because of the different class hours. Moreover, in class at night, you can also spend a whole time doing internships during the day to prepare for CFA and FRM exams.

For the fourth question, the course is simple, and it is not suitable for studying in the United States to find internships and jobs.

As long as you try to find it, there is no problem you can't find. Of course, this is a good test of social skills, how to build your own circle, internal knowledge of the financial industry, and oral English. New york is a big city with many opportunities. Columbia University is the best school in new york. There are companies everywhere, big or small, but you can always find them. Geographical location and convenient transportation mean opportunities, even if it is not quant's job, there are opportunities.

There is no denying that at present, for international students in China, only quant and programmers in the United States have the advantage of finding jobs, but now the domestic financial industry is also very developed, such as PE, VC, Angel, M& etc. A, IBD, FA, MBS, asset management, fixed income, financial market, so many departments, which way is better, not worse than quant and programmers in the United States.

Studying abroad is not only to learn technology, but also to exercise one's ability. How to quickly adapt to the new environment, how to quickly integrate into the people around you, how to make friends in a strange environment, how to understand American culture, how to change thinking between China and foreign countries, how to think outside the box, and how to find yourself in an environment that everyone imitates. Feelings, horizons and patterns are often more important than technology.

For the fifth question, about career service.

At present, there are no schools that can be allocated. At most, there are only internships, and alumni packages are recommended. Admittedly, there is no internship in this college, but in other colleges of Columbia University, at least as far as I am concerned, such internship projects are rare. Getting an internship is a good opportunity to save a lot of trouble, but one thing is that if you are really good, you can find an internship or even a full-time job through your own efforts, and the feedback from your seniors and sisters is the best proof. Alumni's recommendation may only make your resume easier to pass. If you don't have excellent ability, you may be brushed off in the interview.

As for CCE, only five or six colleges in Columbia University can submit their resumes on that platform, and the remaining dozens of colleges, like SPS, are treated the same. The unified feedback from the seniors who have been interviewed now is that enterprises will only regard you as Columbia University, and no one will think that you can't do it because of SPS.
