i dont think either school has huge ties to the big banks. from their businessweek profiles, it looks like almost a quarter of fordham grads go to finance post mba, whereas UC irvine is substantially less. also, all other things being equal, fordham's location makes it much easier to visit companies / do your own legwork during job hunting season. unless you have other extraneous circumstances (such as a lot of $$$ from UC irvine, or you live very close to UC irvine, or you want to stay on the west coast post mba), then i would probably look at fordham
