Connect with us
Hire GSE students or alumni
Stanford EdCareers uses a third-party tool, Symplicity, to connect employers with students and alumni. This portal is a free service and allows you to post full-time, part-time, internship, short-term, and remote positions. Your presence in the career portal allows students and alumni to learn more about your mission and career opportunities.
Host an Intern
Hosting an intern is a great way to attract talent, build hiring pipelines, and support the career development of future education leaders. Ideal experiential learning helps the student build professional skills while applying classroom concepts to projects that are “mission critical” to the host organization. EdCareers recommends no more than 10 hours per week, with student and manager meeting regularly. Experiential Learning can be paid and/or for academic credit.
For internship guidelines, please visit the NACE internship guide
Participate in a career fair
Stanford University’s central career education office, called Stanford Career Education, hosts many career fairs throughout the year and in a variety of industries. Career fairs provide an excellent way for employers to connect with education-passionate students.

Our programs
Stanford Graduate School of Education offers master’s, doctoral, and undergraduate programs. Explore our program pages to learn more about what students learn, where they intern, and what they do after graduation.
Master’s programs
The GSE offers five Master of Arts (MA) programs and two Master of Science (MS) programs, as well as three joint degree programs with other Stanford graduate schools and programs (law, business, and public policy). All are full-time, intensive programs that integrate theory and practice. Most of our programs involve an internship or fieldwork component.
Doctoral programs
Our doctoral programs prepare students to be leaders in education through rigorous research training. Our apprenticeship model means that our students are prepared over a five-year period to excel as university teachers and education researchers.
Undergraduate programs
The only graduate school on campus with an office dedicated to undergraduates, the GSE offers an education minor as well as honors in education. Undergraduates passionate about education are often interested in internship and job opportunities in the field.
Annual career reports
Each year, we survey graduating students and publish a profile of the class and their career plans. Check out our annual reports to learn more about our graduates’ career journeys.
