Accenture's US internships are the Summer Analyst Program for third-year undergraduates and the MBA Internship Program for first-year MBA students, each about 10 weeks from June. Read October 31, 2026: the Advisory Summer Analyst posting pays $27 to $35 an hour and was expected to stay up until November 6, 2026, and the MBA Strategy Summer Consultant posting asks for applications by November 29, 2026. Accenture interviews by phone, video or in person, and the number of interviews depends on the role. To rehearse Accenture's case and behavioral questions out loud, Soreno, an AI voice interview practice app for consulting, investment banking and other finance candidates, runs a free Accenture-style case with no sign-up and complete mock interviews that ask follow-up questions and score every answer.
Updated
From Accenture's US student page and its two 2027 internship postings, read October 31, 2026. Each card says which page it comes from.
Summer Analyst ProgramA 10-week summer internship built to mirror Accenture's full-time, entry-level Analyst role.
Advisory Summer Analyst 2027The undergraduate posting, starting in June for about 10 weeks and ending with a deliverable and a presentation.
MBA Internship ProgramA 10-week internship that mirrors a full-time Strategy Consultant, in a small team led by a Strategy Executive.
Early talent programsThree programs for first and second-year students in the US or Canada, all open when we read the page.
One posting covers five tracks, each with its own skills list. These summaries are in our words, close to the posting's.
Advisory Consulting
Asks for problem solving, data tools such as Excel, Power BI and Tableau, and comfort making sound judgments with incomplete information.
Accenture: Advisory Summer Analyst NAELFY27Industry X
Product design, manufacturing, sourcing and service. Familiarity with engineering tools such as CAD, simulation software, ERP systems or digital twins helps.
Song
Marketing, customer service, commerce and digital experience, with human-centered design and PowerPoint storytelling.
Sourcing & Procurement
Efficiencies, lower costs and supply chain resilience, with messy data turned into charts and recommendations for executives.
Strategy
Defining and solving client challenges and analyzing how a client's business works today and how it could work better.
Accenture posts pay where local law requires it. We multiplied the Summer Analyst's hourly range by 40 hours a week (our assumption, the posting doesn't state hours) and took 10 of 52 weeks of the MBA intern's annual range. Rounded, before tax.
Summer Analyst
$27 to $35 an hour, the same in all 14 states the posting lists pay for. Some offices, such as Atlanta, Houston and Philadelphia, are in states not on that list.
Accenture: Advisory Summer Analyst NAELFY27MBA intern, New York
The New York range starts at $66,300 a year.
Accenture: Strategy Summer Consultant MBA NAELFY27MBA intern, Chicago
$59,100 to $188,100 a year in Illinois, which covers Chicago. The posting lists 14 states, but its only offices are New York City and Chicago. The range is wide, so it tells you little about a single offer.
Written for a third-year industrial engineering student applying to the Industry X track. It uses only what Accenture's posting says, so put your own story in.
Open
"Last year I helped a campus machine shop cut setup time on its CNC line by about a fifth, and the part I enjoyed most was explaining the change to the technicians, not the analysis."
Why the track
"That's why I'm applying to Industry X. The posting talks about changing how products are designed, made and serviced, and asks people to explain technical ideas to people who aren't engineers. That's the job I liked."
Why Accenture
"I also want a summer that ends with something I own. The internship finishes with a deliverable and a presentation, and I want to be judged on that."
Close
"By August I'd like to have shipped one piece of a client project and know whether I want to do this full time."
Why it works
Our view: it names the track, backs it with one result and uses one fact from the posting. Accenture says it wants to hear from you, not a script, so learn the points, not the words.
Accenture: using AI in your job searchFrom Accenture: internships and student programs, Accenture: Advisory Summer Analyst NAELFY27, Accenture: Strategy Summer Consultant MBA NAELFY27, Accenture: hiring process Q&A, Accenture: using AI in your job search and Accenture: interview tips.
From Accenture's student page and the two 2027 postings, each named on its line.
Accenture's student page asks for third-year students in a four-year program in the US or Canada. The 2027 Advisory posting asks for a bachelor's or master's in any discipline, graduating December 2027 to August 2028, with prior internship or work experience.
The Strategy Summer Consultant posting asks for a current MBA in that window and prefers 3 to 5 years of work before the MBA, plus PowerPoint, Excel, Power BI and Tableau.
Both postings require US work authorization that does not now or in the future need visa sponsorship.
Both postings say the role is in person, at Accenture offices, client sites or delivery centers.

From the postings and the student page, read October 31, 2026.
Advisory Summer AnalystAccenture says it expects to keep the posting up until November 6, 2026. It is a single posting for all five tracks and 14 offices.
MBA Strategy Summer ConsultantThe posting asks you to apply by November 29, 2026 to be considered, and expects to stay up until then.
First and second-year programsElevate to Innovate (first-years), the Accenture Innovation Challenge and the Student Leadership Program (second-years) all said applications were open. The page gives no closing date.
Accenture's hiring Q&A describes the same steps for every role. It doesn't publish an intern-only process on the pages we read.
Apply
Recruiters may suggest other roles that fit you, but each needs its own application. Accenture runs a referral program, so ask people you know there.
Some roles
Accenture may ask you to complete an online activity on your technical skills, strengths or decision making. For coding roles, its Q&A describes a HackerRank assessment of about 30 to 90 minutes, usually due within 72 hours, with a 90-day wait before you can retake it. Its AI page says using AI to complete assessments is not permitted unless it says otherwise.
From Accenture: hiring process Q&A and Accenture: using AI in your job search.
Interviews
The number of interviews depends on the role. Accenture's tips page has posts on behavioral, case-study and video interviews and its Case Interview Workbook.

Our wording, matched to the Advisory tracks and the skills the 2027 postings list. They don't repeat our Accenture interview questions page, so use both.

November 29 is the MBA date. The undergrad Advisory posting was expected to stay up only until November 6, 2026.
Each track has its own skills list. Choose the one your coursework and projects already point to, and say why.
Accenture says using AI to answer interview questions or complete assessments is not permitted unless it says otherwise, and that it uses proctoring and AI detection.
Both 2027 postings ask for graduation between December 2027 and August 2028. Check it before you spend time on the application.
Our suggestion, for the weeks between applying and your first call.
Before you apply
Read the five track descriptions and write why you fit one, with an example from a class or job.
Week 1
Its tips page links its case-study interview post and its Case Interview Workbook. Our guide summarizes both.
Week 2
Two or three cases from the track list above, said aloud with someone stopping you, a friend or an AI interviewer.
Week 3
One per fit question above, each under two minutes, then practice them on camera for the video calls.
Soreno's AI interviewer runs Accenture-style cases one question at a time, checks your math and asks behavioral questions with follow-ups, then scores the session. Soreno is not affiliated with Accenture.
As read October 31, 2026: the undergraduate Advisory Summer Analyst posting is expected to stay up until November 6, 2026, and the MBA Strategy Summer Consultant posting asks for applications by November 29, 2026. The first and second-year programs were open with no closing date on the page.
The 2027 Advisory Summer Analyst posting lists $27 to $35 an hour. By our math, 40 hours a week for 10 weeks is $10,800 to $14,000 before tax. The MBA posting gives an annual range of $59,100 to $188,100 depending on the state.
Accenture's student page says 10 weeks for both the Summer Analyst and MBA programs, and both 2027 postings say about 10 weeks from June. Its hiring Q&A describes the Summer Analyst Program as 10 to 12 weeks, so check your offer.
Not on the two 2027 internship postings we read. Both require US work authorization that does not now or in the future need visa sponsorship.
Accenture says interviews are by phone, video or in person, and the number depends on the role. Some roles add an online activity. It doesn't publish an intern-specific round count on the pages we read.
For research, resume drafting and interview practice, yes. Accenture says AI is not permitted for completing assessments unless stated otherwise, or for generating answers during interviews, and that it uses proctoring and AI detection.
The 2027 posting describes a summer project solving a real business problem, ending with an internship deliverable and a presentation, in-person work with your team and clients, and a mentor or buddy through the summer.
Neither 2027 posting we read lists a GPA minimum. The Advisory Summer Analyst posting asks for prior internship or work experience and prefers internships in consulting, technology or professional services, leadership in student groups and project work on real business problems.
Accenture's student page says the Summer Analyst Program mirrors its full-time, entry-level Analyst role and the MBA program mirrors a full-time Strategy Consultant. The pages we read give no return-offer rate.
