Your Accounting Internship: Making It Real

It’s going to take learning that only comes from relevant, meaningful experience. Our MS in Accounting/MBA is distinguished in providing an advanced, engaging curriculum while offering you the opportunity to build confidence and a lifetime of valuable connections that will help you stand out professionally.

Built into our MS In Accounting/MBA dual degree program is a transformative, paid 3-month internship at a leading firm during the accounting busy season. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill internship. It’s an opportunity to accelerate your career with unparalleled experience, skills, and insights that are relevant and applicable to real-world public accounting and business challenges.
The Internship Process

Your internship will be a chance for you to put into practice the collective insights and skills you have developed in the classroom. The internship gives you the opportunity to do “real world work with real responsibilities” at an associate level and as part of a talented team.
