Quick facts about MSA Internships

● Internships are completed within the last year of a candidate’s MSA program
● Candidates are paired with a supervising principal to have on site administrative experience to help prepare for their role as a future school administrator
● Internships can be full time or part time: Some candidates receive a scholarship that affords the opportunity for a full year experience and other candidates complete internship hours while they are working in their current within the school

MSA Internship Guidelines

● Internship placements are made in collaboration with Human Resources
● Principal interns are supervised by the principal of the school only
● Full year internship placements are made in the spring for the following school year in collaboration with Ed Leadership and Human Resources
● If you receive a request for someone to complete internship hours at your school, they must go through human resources for approval (utilize this form to share information with us so that we may contact you for next steps).
