The spring of 2001 will conclude the fifth year of the Department of Accounting s very successful internship program. The program affords students the opportunity to obtain practical, career-related experience while still in school. The program has been welcomed enthusiastically by employers and students alike. The Admissions Department noted, We find that many of the parents and prospective students come in and ask about the accounting internship program. A current resume is filed with the Career Development Center early in the fall semester of a student s junior year.
Students choose which firms they wish to send their resumes.
All resumes are then forwarded to the firms who then select students they wish to interview. The process is competitive and very similar to the selection process for full-time employees. Selected students then interview with the firms. Ultimately, offers are made by each firm. Students then decide upon which offer to accept.
