Seton Hall University is proud to announce the formation of Cohort 20 of its nationally acclaimed online MA degree program.  This 22-month, express program is celebrating its first score, or 2 decade, anniversary of producing education leaders through a highly respected and NCATE acclaimed online program. Well over 500 students have graduated from this program and many are serving as K-12 administrators across the metropolitan area and nationwide. Utilizing a renowned faculty of SHU professors and K-12 practitioners, this online program of 39 credits, which includes a 300-hour internship, meets or exceeds requirements in almost all states for certification as K-12 administrators. The certifications prepare you to hold supervisor, assistant principal, principal, assistant superintendent, director and superintendent positions. Eligibility for the praxis and other state tests are provided through the rigors of the program.

The anniversary celebration will be highlighted by testimonials coming in from former graduates of this illustrious program. SHU’s basketball team helped to celebrate with a remarkable win over Villanova University. Wow, it doesn’t get any better than that!

Requirements for this prestigious program include a bachelor’s degree, three letters of professional recommendation, an interview, a writing sample and a desire to be an educational leader. One of the major reasons for the success of this unique quality program is the cost. The tuition is only $25,150, which includes two residencies held at the Newark Airport Hilton where students meet at the beginning of the program and at the midway point of the program — both being in July — when teachers are available for a full weekend of activities and coursework.

Putting Your Money Where Your Mouth Is In Education Leadership

Seton Hall University’s Bergen 2 Cohort in Ed. Leadership embarks on their yearlong two term 600 hour internship.  Here is where the classroom theory meets the actual practice much like where the rubber meets the road. Students will observe teachers. Chair conferences, rewrite curriculum, handle disciplinary issues, work on budgets and do all the things administrators do. They will deal with real issues and develop strategies and create solutions to problems. Utilizing what they have learned they will help to create a safe, secure and innovative environment where students can learn comfortably and reach their full potential.  What a great model as they work under the tutelage of a building administrator and a mentor from Seton Hall University.  They will cap off their internship by doing 50 hours of service in a district unlike the one they work in to see how the other half lives. WOW WHAT A PROGRAM…UNMATCHED AND UNPARALLELED.
