Employers & Partners
Over the past six years Concordia University Irvine (CUI) has collaborated with numerous organizations in China in an attempt to provide authentic and rewarding work experiences for our MAIS students. University-approved employers offer a diversity of work opportunities and experiences for MAIS students. Though work requirements, compensation and benefits will vary from employer to employer, each is required to provide a minimum compensation package established by CUI (which includes a monthly salary, work visa, airfare reimbursement, housing/housing subsidy, and other benefits). In addition, the list of available employers is continuously upgraded based on the direction of the program and student feedback regarding their first-hand experiences as employees.
