Internships. Three hours of internship are required of all accounting majors for graduation, but many students desire to do more. Numerous internship opportunities are often available for accounting majors, and students quickly realize the benefits of being exposed to and working in their possible fields of interest. It is not uncommon for an internship to lead to a job offer. Some of the sponsors who have welcomed Wesleyan interns in accounting in recent years have included Ernst & Young; the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance IRS Program; and McNair, McLemore, and Middlebrooks, CPAs. Postgraduate Opportunities. The accounting degree prepares students for a profession and a career and also provides for immediate employment. Consequently, although some graduates pursue a Masters program, many enter the work force immediately following graduation. Recent graduates are working for Ernst and Young, the Georgia State Department of Audits, and other businesses. Those who have recently chosen to pursue graduate degrees have pursued their masters degrees at Georgia State University, Ohio State University, and other schools offering masters degrees.
