Internships and programs at Deloitte

The early-career programs it runs for students and recent graduates, by the names it uses for them.

Audit & Assurance Intern: Summer and winter internships for accounting students, working on financial statement audits: testing accounts and controls, analyzing client data, and preparing audit documentation. Postings require plans to meet CPA licensure education requirements in your office's state before starting full time.
Tax Intern: Tax internships in summer and winter, split by background. Recent postings include tax interns for accounting, business, and technology majors, plus specialty tracks such as transfer pricing, global trade advisory, and JD candidates.
Summer Scholar (Consultative Offerings): Deloitte's consulting-side summer internship, posted by practice area. Summer 2027 examples include Technology Transformation, Functional & Operations Strategy, Enterprise Tech Strategy, and several Government & Public Services tracks. Summer Scholars work on client engagements and are evaluated for full-time consulting offers.
Discovery Internship: An internship Deloitte lists apart from its client service internships, built around training, projects, mentorship, and networking. Target class years and business areas are set in each cycle's posting, so check the listing for eligibility.
Deloitte National Leadership Conference (DNLC): A leadership development conference for high-performing students that Deloitte runs as an early engagement program. Deloitte also hosts national case competitions, including the Consulting National Undergraduate Case Competition and the FanTaxTic tax case competition.

When Deloitte posts internships

The accounting side recruits very early. In September 2026, Deloitte had Audit & Assurance and Tax internship postings live for Summer 2028 and Winter 2028, alongside Summer 2027 roles, and the Summer 2028 Financial Statement Audit intern posting stopped taking applications on September 23, 2026. Accounting students are commonly identified two years before graduation, often in the fall.

Consulting runs later, and each posting sets its own end date. Summer 2027 Summer Scholar roles were posted in fall 2026 for students graduating by spring or summer 2028, with recruiting end dates ranging from September 23 for some Government & Public Services tracks to November 1 and December 31 for others. There is no national deadline.

Who can apply

Audit internships require a bachelor's or master's in accounting or a closely related field, a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0 (3.2 preferred), and a plan to meet CPA licensure education requirements. Limited immigration sponsorship may be available for some audit roles.

Summer Scholar GPA floors vary by practice: Technology Transformation asks for 3.0 with 3.3 preferred, while the strategy tracks ask for 3.3 with 3.5 preferred. All require graduation within the posted window and US work authorization without sponsorship. For audit roles, Deloitte suggests contacting the Audit & Assurance recruiter aligned to your school before you apply.

The interview process

Deloitte says selected candidates usually hear about a first interview within one to two weeks of applying, and to expect two to three rounds by phone, video, or in person. Depending on the role, rounds mix behavioral, technical, and case interviews. A written offer typically follows within a week of the final interview.

All Audit & Assurance candidates do live, virtual behavioral interviews, and some audit roles add a live virtual scenario-style interview. Summer Scholar candidates should expect at least one case interview, and technology practices may add technical questions.

Tips for applying to Deloitte

Accounting majors: get to know your school's Deloitte campus recruiter in sophomore year. Audit and tax internships fill up to two years before graduation.
Target Summer Scholar roles by practice area, and be ready to explain why that practice (Functional & Operations Strategy versus Technology Transformation, for example).
Read the recruiting end date printed on each posting. Deloitte closes roles one at a time, some within weeks of posting.
Case competitions like FanTaxTic and the Consulting National Undergraduate Case Competition put you in front of Deloitte recruiters early.
