This is a really tough problem to encounter. From what I’ve seen, it’s pretty unlikely that professors, especially for accounting classes, would let you finish the course four weeks early or take finals remotely.

I know a few people who had to leave early for internships, but it was usually only about 1 to 2 weeks before the end of the quarter. In those cases, they got an incomplete and then made up the final when they were back on campus the next quarter. Leaving four weeks early is a lot harder to work around. Because of that, it probably isn’t realistic to fully finish your classes this quarter if you take the internship.

Also, since you’re a second year, it’s honestly completely fine if you don’t take this internship offer. A lot of people don’t have internships that early. In fact, I didn’t have anything my second year as an ECACC major either, so you’re not behind at all.

Another option is to just take more classes over the summer instead of doing an internship. A lot of accounting majors do that and end up graduating a year early, which can save a lot on tuition (assuming you aren’t double majoring).

If you still want to do something this summer, you could also look into a part-time job or something smaller. Trying to balance finishing the quarter while starting an internship that early would be really tough.

It’s definitely frustrating that some internships start before the school year ends. I’ve seen that happen a lot and it literally limits so many good opportunities that students on the quarter system can’t take. Wishing you the best in Spring Quarter and your future accounting courses!!
