The goal of the Principal Fellows Program is to prepare the most outstanding candidates for full-time school administration in North Carolina.

The Principal Fellows Program was created in 1993 by the North Carolina General Assembly. Fellows also participate in enrichment experiences designed to enhance their preparation for a career as a principal or assistant principal. The Principal Fellows Program, which is offered at eleven campuses of the University of North Carolina, provides one year of full-time academic study and a one year full-time internship in a North Carolina public school. Fellows have the opportunity to attend school on a full-time basis and earn an MSA degree in two years.
