Urban SEALS' mission is to prepare doctoral-level special educators, including those who are culturally and/or linguistically diverse (CLD) to assume leadership roles in the education of urban students with disabilities who are CLD.

SEALS doctoral students will participate in a program of study that includes courses and non-credit leadership activities with the goal of developing the knowledge, skills, and dispositions needed to fulfill leadership roles that (a) prepare teachers of CLD students with disabilities in urban settings, such as university professors and/or (b) support the education of CLD students with disabilities and their peers in urban settings, in roles such as special education program coordinators or directors.
