The Sixth-Year Degree in SEAL (Social, Emotional & Academic Learning) for Social Justice Leadership program is designed for those interested in further study in administration and will provide the required credits beyond the Master's degree to advance the 092 endorsement from provisional to professional. The Sixth-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. Candidates who complete their full 33-credit Sixth-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 program focuses on social, emotional, and academic learning outcomes for all through practical applied courses in pedagogy, special education, literacy, numeracy, and social justice. Graduates move on to be dynamic, empathetic, and ethical leaders.
