美商学院硕士项目升温中国学生人满为患

When the business school at the University of California, Davis, started its master's program in accounting last year, administrators expected to attract aspiring accountants from nearby colleges.

当加州大学戴维斯分校(University of California, Davis)的商学院去年启动会计硕士培养项目时，管理层希望能够从附近的大学吸引到有抱负的会计专业学生。

What they got instead was a wave of interest from overseas: Roughly two-thirds of the 189 applications received for last fall's entering class came from Chinese citizens.

然而，他们收到的却是大量对此感兴趣的海外人士的申请：在收到的189份去年秋季入学的申请中，大约三分之二来自中国申请者。

'Frankly, we were shocked at the deluge of applications...for what we saw as a program that prepared students for a U.S. credential, ' says James Stevens, assistant dean of student affairs.

该院负责学生事务的院长助理詹姆斯??史蒂文斯(James Stevens)说：“坦率地说，我们对蜂拥而至的申请感到震惊………在我们看来这就是一个让学生获得一张美国文凭的教育项目而已。”

Davis has plenty of company. Specialized master's degrees in accounting, finance and other disciplines─generally aimed at students just out of college and lasting one year─have found tremendous popularity in recent years among Chinese nationals seeking a competitive edge and U.S. experience.
