Program Overview

Our programs in Educational Leadership continue from the Intermediate Administrator Certification (092) to a 6th Year Degree in Social, Emotional & Academic Learning for Social Justice Leadership.

This program is designed for those interested in further study in administration and will provide you with the required credits beyond the Master's degree to advance the 092 endorsement from provisional to professional. The 6th Year Degree in SEAL consists of an additional 15 credits beyond the 18 credit Intermediate Administrator Certificate program (33 total credits to earn the degree). The SEAL coursework is offered completely online and can be completed in as little as one year.

Many students who complete this program continue on to doctoral studies.  Candidate who complete their full 33 credit 6th Year in SEAL for Social Justice Leadership at SHU are eligible to waive up to 12 credits in our Doctor of Education in Educational Leadership.

This experiential program engages candidates in such a way that their core professional ideas, experiences, and questions they hold central for becoming a school leader are identified, reflected on, and engaged in an authentic manner.  Graduates move on to be dynamic, engaged, and ethical leaders in the 21st Century.
