Your GPA seems good enough for a corporate internship at an energy company or other non-finance corporation, but even getting an on-campus interview could be tough at an I-bank. If your accounting grades are good you should definitely put in for any and all Big Four (?) accounting internships that come along. You should also consider working at the Houston branch of the Dallas Federal Reserve Bank or even as an auditor for the FDIC.

I assume there are some Personal Banker, Loan Processor or Branch Management programs you could put in for now; and you should be in the driver's seat for a Credit Analyst or Corporate Development position after you graduate. That may not seem very prestigious but I've actually never been able to get any of those positions, so you should definitely make the most of that experience.

Thanks for the advice. I plan on being a CPA. Would you recommend finishing my masters as well or would just having my CPA be enough to get a good job?

Where are you planning on working? Most states require that you get your 150 hours to get licensed these days.

Yea it sucks about the 150 hours. I believe it falls short a semester of getting a masters. Hopefully I'll be able to get in with an accounting firm or energy/oil. I really am more interested in audit however.

A CPA is enough to get a good job. How far along in the program are you? If you can't get into the big4, you should be able to get into a mid-sized cpa firm.

It shouldn't be too hard to make 150 hours. You may need to take a post-bac class, but shouldn't need to get a masters.
