Equivalencies for SBL and SDL Courses Policy

The Ed.D. program has determined certain courses leading to Molloy’s advanced certificates at the post master’s level for School Building Leader (SBL) or School District Leader (SDL) which may be considered equivalent to specified Ed.D. program requirements. A minimum grade of “B” or better is required for these courses to be considered. . For students who have completed both a Molloy SBL and an SDL certificate, a maximum of eighteen (18) credits may be applied as equivalencies.  For students with a Molloy SBL only, a maximum of fifteen (15) credits may be applied and for students with a Molloy SDL only, a maximum of twelve (12) credits may be applied.

Students with post master’s SBL or SDL credits from other institutions may have their credits evaluated to be considered as transfer credits into the SBL or SDL programs. A maximum of  twelve (12) credits may be applied. All credits are reviewed and subject to approval by the Director of the Ed.D. Program.
