Are there any prerequisites for a Summer Analyst Intern position at a Big Bank?

I know that if you want full time employment at big banks like Goldman Sachs, you need to do a summer internship/Analyst position first. But I am wondering if there is any prerequisites requirements to even get the summer internship at the big banks. Like a specific major or some specific finance courses or work experience before you are eligible to become an intern. Please advise.
