Accounting Internships
Accounting Internships
Fall Recruiting for internships and full-time positions is an annual activity co-sponsored by the Accounting Department and the AQ Advantage Center.
Students have the chance to meet and interview with potential employers, including financial services firms, local and regional accounting firms, and the “Big 4.”
In preparation, the AQ Advantage Center works with students to build their resumes and conducts video-recorded practice interviews. To make an appointment, contact the AQ Advantage Center.

"My experience with the AQ Accounting Department has been valuable at every stage
of my career. As a student the coursework gave me a strong technical foundation, and
several classes proved indispensable when I later prepared for the CPA exam. Now that
I work with interns in my own role, I have an even greater appreciation for the value
of entering the profession with both practical experience and a solid understanding
of accounting fundamentals. AQ’s combination of rigorous coursework, faculty support,
and practical internship experience gives students a strong foundation for long-term
success in the profession."

"We've had the pleasure of working with several Aquinas College accounting students
over the years, and our experience has been consistently outstanding. Aquinas students
come to us well-prepared, eager to learn, and ready to contribute from day one. They
demonstrate strong technical knowledge, professionalism, and a genuine willingness
to ask thoughtful questions and grow."

"While the Aquinas professors provided me with a top-notch education and a solid foundation
in accounting, my internships throughout college gave me the opportunity to apply
that knowledge in a professional setting, learn the job hands-on, and build meaningful
relationships with industry professionals. I was able to gain real-world experience,
contribute meaningful work, and develop a deeper understanding of the career, all
while still in college."

"Internships are one of the most valuable experiences a student can have while in
school. The AQ Accounting Department did a great job guiding me through the recruiting
process and helping me secure a tax internship. The experience gave me the opportunity
to apply what I learned in the classroom to real world situations, and ultimately
led me to a full-time position. Aquinas does a great job preparing accounting students
for success both in the classroom and beyond in their careers."
