Practicum Information

The practicum component of the Master's degree in Student Affairs Administration is designed to give students the opportunity to relate and apply theory to practice and to practice professional behavior in a work setting. 

Every student must complete two distinct placements, each of which is typically 10-12 hours/week for a semester or an equivalent experience during summer.  The practicum experience is a valuable component of the MSU degree, representing significant career exploration, invaluable professional experience, and frequent entrees into employment, either Graduate Assistant or full time. 

The SAA program relies on the generosity of our many practicum supervisors and the quality performance of our students to sustain this essential component of the degree program.
