EY internships: when they open and how to apply

Short, published windows define EY recruiting: most US undergraduate internships open in early September and close two to four weeks later. EY also asks you to apply to no more than two jobs in six months. Choose carefully.

Internships and programs at EY

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

360 Careers Intern (Assurance and Tax)
EY's accounting internships in Audit, Technology Risk, and Tax, offered in summer and winter. Interns take part in structured, skills-based "expeditions" that can span Assurance and Tax, alongside client work such as analytical review of financial statements.
EY Career Residency
A paid, longer alternative to an internship for 360 Careers Assurance and Tax candidates, launching January 2028. It opens with a Client Service Immersion from January to March: full time and mostly in person. Residents who accept a full-time analyst offer then do a virtual Skills Academy from April to August.
Consulting Intern
Summer internships across EY Consulting practices, including Technology Consulting, Business Transformation, Risk, Finance, People Consulting, and the Studio+ design group. Technology Consulting candidates align to a practice such as AI and Data during recruiting.
EY-Parthenon Summer Analyst
Summer analyst roles in EY-Parthenon, EY's strategy and transactions arm, including areas such as infrastructure advisory. These follow the Consulting and EY-Parthenon application window.

When EY posts internships

EY posts its fall application windows publicly. In 2026, Consulting and EY-Parthenon applications opened September 8 and closed September 22. Accounting roles for 360 Careers and Assurance opened the same day and closed September 30, and Tax roles for business and technology majors closed October 5. MBA Consulting and EY-Parthenon internships opened October 5 and close November 29.

Plan around an early-September opening with a close two to four weeks later. That window covers summer and winter internships for the next year and Career Residency roles starting the January after. Coming back to campus in late August? Have your resume ready before classes start.

These are patterns from recent cycles, not published dates, and they shift. The reliable signal is the posting itself: Trakker is an internship tracker that reads EY’s careers site directly and can email you within minutes of a new role appearing.

Who can apply

Assurance internships and the Career Residency require a predicted degree in accounting, a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0 (3.2 or higher preferred), and a plan to meet the CPA licensure education requirements in your state before full-time employment. Consulting roles list their own majors; Technology Consulting, for example, looks for computer science, information systems, data science, or analytics backgrounds.

Most EY early-career roles require US work authorization without sponsorship. EY lists a limited set of exceptions in Assurance, Consulting, EY-Parthenon, and Tax, including its Japanese Business Services and Korean Business Network roles. Government and Public Sector roles require US citizenship and eligibility for a security clearance.

The interview process

Within one business day of applying, EY emails an invitation to an online skills assessment, and your application is not complete until you submit it. EY says interviews may include prerecorded video, live video, and case study interviews, with format and number of rounds set by the role.

Accounting interviews are mostly behavioral, focused on client service and teamwork. Consulting and EY-Parthenon candidates should expect a case or problem-solving component.

Tips for applying to EY

  • Respect the two-application limit. EY asks candidates to apply to no more than two jobs in a six-month period, so settle on your top two roles before the September window opens.
  • Do the skills assessment promptly. Until it is in, you have not applied.
  • Match your location preferences to the locations listed on the posting; EY asks applicants to align the two.
  • Want more than a summer? Look at the Career Residency, which puts you in busy-season client work before graduation.
