Internships Students who have been admitted to the Concurrent Program can get professional accounting work experience through an internship. Most internships are available during Spring semester (busy-season), though some are available over the summer. Accounting interns must be paid, and must receive overtime pay where appropriate. Students who enroll in and complete the requirements of ACCT 6000 (which includes documentation of working at least 300 hours) can receive 3 credits of Pass/Fail credit. These 3 hours may be applied toward the undergraduate business elective requirement, assuming the student does not exceed restrictions on Pass/Fail credits toward the BS degree. Busy-season internships are available each year during the first two thirds of the spring semester. Internships begin early January and end the Friday before Spring Break. During late March/April of the spring semester, students will take a compressed version of an advanced accounting course, and complete an independent research project on a current topic directly related to their internship experience.
