<p>Hey guys, I'm about to start my Junior year at the University of Nebraska and I'm double majoring in Accounting and Finance. It will take me 5 years to graduate because of the 150 hour CPA requirement. Should I be looking to apply for summer internships between my Junior and Senior year or should I hold off and try to get an internship the summer before I graduate? Thanks.</p>
<p>Talk to the recruiters and see when they take interns. At my school, most of them won’t give you an internship until after your 4th year out of 5.</p>
<p>MRoCkEd is correct. Although, KPMG does the corporate management internship between 3rd and 4th year, which all but guarantees you an internship the following summer in your choice of practice.</p>
<p>in my state, big 4 recruiters consider you for internships until the summer before you graduate with cpa eligibility. </p>
<p>with that said, LOOK for other internships at different companies throughout college. you don’t want to end up waiting on getting an internship, putting all your hopes in a big4 internship, and then not getting it…
<em>hint</em> that happens to the majority accounting students **</p>
<p>get an internship in an accounting/finance department…and hey, you may end up really liking it. You always have lateer to try to get the big 4 internship the summer b4 u graduate, if thats what you decide you wanna do.</p>
