The Endorsed Internal Audit Program (EIAP) at UTD leverages the current
courses in Accounting and Information Systems to build a strong multi-
discipline program in Internal Audit. The core course that all students
are required to take AIM 6380 Internal Audit should be taken early in
the program to allow for internship potential, to determine your program
suitability, and to obtain maximum benefit from the more advanced
courses. The core course for the program covers key components of the
Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) exam.
Although the program is offered only at the graduate level, students at the end of their undergraduate program may enroll in the core course. Undergraduate students who are not graduating are highly encouraged to join the student chapter prior to enrolling in the core course.
