The Sixth-Year certificate program leading to intermediate Administration & Supervision (092) certification is a 30-credit program. The program is designed to scaffold learning opportunities for all students, which include both courses and assessment points. The courses are grouped into three levels: introductory level coursework, intermediate level coursework, and advanced level coursework. Students are allowed to proceed through the program and take coursework in the next level only upon successful completion of coursework and the assessments, or with the approval of the student's advisor. Core studies are taught as an integrated sequence though the semesters, when particular courses are offered sometimes vary.
