I will graduate with my bachelors degree in accounting in December from K-State. My school offers a 1 year 30 credit hour masters (MAcc) degree to help students get to the 150. I had originally wanted to go the MAcc route, but after realizing that I will be only 11 hours short of the 150 after I graduate in December I’m not sure if it is worth the extra year and money to go on for my masters. I am also taking 3 graduate hours next semester so I would only be 27 hours short of a Masters.
Basically my options are:
Graduate in December finish the 11 credit hours at a community college or online.
Graduate in December try to get a winter internship (hopefully big 4) start Masters in Fall 2015.
Graduate in December start Masters in January 2015. (possibly intern in the summer)
I have a 3.5 GPA, 4 years experience as a bookkeeper, currently the evening supervisor for the tutoring center on campus, and have an interview for an accounting internship for a local business that employees approximately 900 people on Monday. What do you think my chances are of getting a Big 4 internship with my experience? I know that it is competitive for summer internships, but winter ones are supposed to be easier to get into. I don’t have much as far as extravehicular activities or volunteering.
Also, when do firms start interviewing for winter internships? If I got to my schools career fair in September will they be looking for winter interns? Also what are the chances of me getting into a different region with a Big 4 firm. Most people usually go to work at Kansas City, but I would prefer Portland, Oregon as I am originally from Oregon.
All advice and experience is welcome and appreciated.
