Does any bookkeeping or accounting jobs require CPA after I graduate?

After I graduate, or during my senior year, are there any job opportunities in bookkeeping and accounting jobs available without the CPA requirement? I will eventually study for the CPA for 6 months to 1 year, and take the test. And I should move forward to look for something matching my work experience, and my degree in BS in Business Administration(options in Accounting and Information Technology Management).

1. You can certainly be a bookkeeper without being a CPA and there are jobs as an accountant without being a CPA. Heck you can probably work for yourself as a bookkeeper with the demand for experienced professionals among people who work for themselves (and need basic, freelance record keeping help). Check out a free online bookkeeping and tax service like Outright.com; sign up as a bookkeeper and just start promoting yourself. Clients will come to you.
2. scholarships.onlinewebshop.net - I found such internship info here. It has lots of internships, job openings and scolarships for college students.
3. Sure, there are things you can do without your CPA, and not only those simpler, worse payed positions. If you want something serious, well, you will need a degree. Check out the certified public accountant jobs on http://www.certifiedpublicaccountants.com/ and see for yourself if it's worth studying a bit more and taking that exam.
