Unique OpportunitiesThe LSU Center for Internal Auditing (LSUCIA), considered the premier international internal audit program, offers a unique and dynamic curriculum that emphasizes tactical, strategic, and operational auditing as a value-added consultative function. Additionally, the center’s program provides training on corporate governance, risk, and controls. Students who complete the multidisciplinary program develop an in-depth understanding of the internal auditing profession, whether they are undergraduate or graduate students and regardless of their chosen degree program at LSU. Since 1985, more than 3,500 students have completed the program.

Our MissionLSUCIA follows a continuous improvement model that seeks new ways to deliver academic instruction and bring real-world best practices to its students. Instruction consists of activity-based learning that can add value, facilitate change, assess risk, enhance corporate governance, and improve business processes.

IAEP ProgramLSU was the first university to offer an internal auditing program and was designated as the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) Pilot School in 1985. LSUCIA’s program was the first at a university to obtain “Center for Internal Auditing Excellence” status, which is the highest level of participation in the Internal Auditing Education Partnership (IAEP) program. The IIA established the IAEP to coordinate internal auditing education efforts worldwide, and the LSUCIA serves as its model for internal audit education programs.

Internal Auditing SpecializationThe internal auditing specialization consists of three to five courses; a minimum of three must be successfully com-pleted to qualify for the specialization. Additionally, each business major may have different course requirements for the specialization. Students should consult with their respective department advisors for specific requirements. The program follows the calendar year, beginning in Janu-ary (spring semester) and finishing in December (fall se-mester). The elective courses offered are:

NetworkingLSUCIA’s program provides numerous opportunities for students to meet representatives from major organizations. Practitioners typically visit each week during the spring and fall semesters to share real-world experiences and discuss best practices in internal auditing and corporate governance. Each year, more than 100 practitioners from approximately 70 organizations visit with LSUCIA students.
