Seventy students of one Midwest University responded to an anonymous survey after completing a full time internship with a CPA firm for college credit. Employers varied in size from Local to Big 4 CPA firms. In addition, seven CPA firm recruiters were interviewed regarding intern recruitment. Students believed GPA and personality were factors in obtaining an internship. Students expressed firm reputation and firm size as factors in accepting an internship offer. Recruiters stated that personality and fit with firm culture were desirable traits. Interns most often worked 55 hours per week and were paid $22 per hour.
