I'm just a regular person. I work at a college in upstate New York (we hate it when people use those words to describe our city - but I'll use it here).
I took a career explatory exam and scored very high in the Professional Advisor section - that is advising college students.

I'm going to get an associates degree in accounting. There are accounting program electives that I can choose from, and one is "full-time internship". What is this? And what is a "half-time internship"?
Also, I'm going to transfer to a 4 year college (I attend a junior college) after I get an associates. Will the 4-year college accept the associates, or will it look at the classes I took? (Basically, will I ever have to take a math/english/history/science class after my associates if I don't have to for my bachelors major). (link)

I work at a university in Rochester, NY. I am not an academic advisor, but I know enough (been here 18 years) to help you with some of your questions.
Regarding your internship question, full-time may mean (it depends on your school) that you will be away from school for a whole semester or quarter working somewhere that pertains to your major. That is working to obtain credits, not money :). Half-time may mean you do the internship while taking classess, but do the intership in two quarters or semesters.
As far as the liberal arts courses you took, they should all transfer over (depending on the four year college - but they should really transfer, especially if the college is accredited). If you happen to fill all of the liberal arts courses slots, there should be what most colleges call free electives. Those extra courses should be able to go in those slots.
So, maybe you won't have to take history.
When you apply at the four-year college, whatever program you choose, they will go over your transcript and let you know all of the courses that they will accept and what slot they will fill.
As far as math, depending on how many math courses you took in your 2-year college, you may not have to take anymore math if those courses you took fills your math requirements.
I hope this helps, but the college you transfer to will be able to answer all of these questions for you.
Good luck!!
Your1friend!
