Is it possible to join fulltime directly after internship?

A bit of context: I accepted a corporate banking offer at a BB for a summer internship. I'm graduating this semester with a BBA from a target school. During the interview/recruiting process I told them that I was going back to school directly after undergrad to get a Masters degree (1 year Master of Accounting).

If I receive a return offer after the internship, is it possible to start full-time almost immediately after the internship? I am starting to rethink this Masters program because it's very expensive and I may not receive as much scholarship money as I had anticipated... I also found out that even if I pass the CPA exam, I probably won't be able to obtain the license because no one on the team has a CPA and cannot satisfy my "experience" requirement. Therefore, what's the point in even getting a MAcc degree...?

Any thoughts/insights/experiences would be appreciated!
