MPA Internships
The program does not require an internship but we strongly encourage pre-service students to participate.
Requirements
Internships are not required. However, if an internship is available and identified by the student,, an internship may be arranged. In that case, an internship will take at least one semester, and are designed to coincide with students' Capstone projects. Students are required to have completed at least half of their course work before enrolling. Interns register in Capstone I and meet as a class in addition to performing their internship duties.
Internship Placements
Recent internships for MPA students have found them serving a variety of organizations such as the New Orleans Kids Partnership, Save the Children, and the St. Bernard Parish Government.
