The LSUCIA Program is available to any LSU student in any major.

The LSUCIA, considered to be the premier internal audit program in the world, is a unique, dynamic educational program. It provides training to graduate and undergraduate students for developing an understanding about the Internal Auditing Profession. The program was the first university-based internal auditing training program and was established in 1985. The LSU Center for Internal Auditing has become a model for similar programs in other schools and countries.

The LSUCIA consists of 3-5 courses with an emphasis in internal auditing. Students must take a minimum of three/four courses to be considered as qualifying for the specialization designation. Several departments have differing course requirements for an internal audit specialization. Students should consult with their department for specifics. The program begins in January and ends in December.

The internal audit program has an optional, yet highly recommended, internship program. Each summer 100-150 students work on internal audit staffs in New York, Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas, Washington, Charlotte, Memphis, Houston, New Orleans, Baton Rouge, etc. Some of these internships involve international travel. The center placed 143 students in internships in 2006, 140 in 2007, 121 in 2008, 80 in 2009, and 84 in 2010.
