Internships for Accounting/Finance/Management

The Madison College Accounting/Finance/Management Faculty believes that a structured internship benefits business students by providing them with a professional work environment experience during the time they are completing their Associate Degree in Accounting, Finance, or Business Management.

Employers of our graduates are interested in establishing ongoing internships with the college in order to evaluate potential employees in a work environment while also providing an onsite learning opportunity for the student.
