Does UC Irvine have good job recruiting?

I chose UC Irvine mainly because they are the only UC with a dedicated school for information and computer science. I’ve heard that it’s program, in comparison to others, isn’t half bad. The professors definitely know their stuff. The one major in the ICS school I’d avoid is Computer Game Science, as it’s relatively new. I’m personally an informatics major but I can’t speak on how it is yet as I’m only a freshman and the classes I’ve taken are required for the other ICS degrees as well.

As far as job recruiting, I’ve heard nothing but great things. Internships and jobs are really easy to grab, the upperclassmen I know haven’t had any trouble in that aspect. I personally hold a position at the Office of Information Technology (OIT). As for careers, I’ve heard about Google, Blizzard, and local Orange County companies recruiting all sorts of ICS majors. In addition to all this, there are tons of job/career opportunities that you can apply online to posted on UCI’s Zotlink.

As I said before I’m only a freshman, but I can say that I definitely do not regret choosing UCI.
