Students also have internships with small- to mid-size accounting firms and large companies such as Deere & Company, Caterpillar and State Farm Insurance.

Augustana's largest concentration of recruiting is with firms in the Quad Cities and the Chicago area; however, accounting alumni work for firms all over the country.

In recent years, some students have obtained prestigious internships with the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). The GASB internship is highly competitive ? Augustana students have successfully competed for these positions with students from other top accounting programs in the U.S.

The majority of internships lead to full-time offers. Many accounting majors have full-time jobs before they graduate.
