Can a finance-related internship count for degree credit?
Yes. MPA graduate internship credit is granted for work activity that requires regular and rigorous use of knowledge and skills learned in the MPA program. This not only includes internships in public accounting, but also internships in all other market sectors that meet this standard, such as financial services, industry, consulting, investment banking, and so forth. Unless obvious, the determination of whether an internship meets this standard will be made on a case-by-case basis. Please note that only internships completed in non-routine accounting may be counted either towards the CPA exam eligibility or work experience requirement in the state of Texas.
