Other minors which are fairly common include economics, psychology, and communications. Some sources recommend considering a minor in an area not closely related to the major in order to broaden the individual's background and strengths. For business and accounting majors, these might include minors such as English or fine arts. Internships are not required, but are strongly recommended. Most students plan to include an internship in their college career if at all possible.
Most students plan for the internship between their last two years of college.
Students may be able to earn college credit for the internship experience. However, most students choose not to earn credit and do the internship purely for the experience and other benefits. The experience has to be approved and monitored in order for the student to earn credit. It is possible to earn 3-6 hours of credit depending on the type of work experience and the number of work hours involved. The credit hours count for elective credit and will cost the same as regular tuition per credit hour.
