Summer Educational Advancement for Teachers (SEAT)

The SEAT Program allows in-service teachers to complete a Master of Music Education or an Education Specialist degree in a minimum of two years, or to complete courses for the Doctor of Education degree with a major in music education in a minimum of three years.
