Internship I

Catalog description

Students majoring in accounting participate in project-centered internships in keeping with their career interests and skills. Examples include, but are not limited to: "Big Four" public accounting firms, local and regional public accounting, corporate, private, and nonprofit accounting and finance, banking, and insurance industries. Each student is required to work 120 hours and maintain weekly internship journals directly related to learning goals developed in the internship preparation course. Through this experience, students are given the opportunity to convert classroom theory into practice. Prerequisites: minimum 2.5 cumulative average in the student's major field of study and completion of ACC 4801. Non- traditional students or students who are not eligible for the internship may substitute a business elective, with approval of the department.
