Professional Internship

Catalog description

Internship credits are exempt from tuition charges. However, an administrative fee equal to one credit hour at the current rate of tuition will be charged for an internship course. The fee is in addition to any tuition charges for other classes. Fees are charged independently of tuition and are not subject to the 12-credit tuition cap. Professional internships correlate actual work experience with accounting and business classroom theory. Internships approved by the accounting internship director provide students with knowledge of career opportunities and how they might prepare to take advantage of them. The ideal internship would take place during the winter semester (the accounting busy season) of the junior or senior year and would be off-site. Two hundred and seventy (270) hours of quality accounting work experience are required. There will be an initial report, a final written report, and an employer evaluation.
