Course Substitution Policy

To substitute an approved elective for an MMOL required course, a student must successfully complete equivalent academic coursework at the undergraduate/graduate level in the 7 years prior to MMOL matriculation; grade of “B” or better; and provide official transcripts (with English translations, if applicable). MGT 610 can be substituted with an approved MMOL elective only if prior equivalent graduate coursework had been completed and also meets the above criteria.

All course substitutions are evaluated upon a student's acceptance into the MMOL program. All MMOL students must complete a minimum of 31 graduate credits in the Sawyer Business School.

Transfer Policy

Review of any coursework taken previously from an AACSB-accredited graduate program will be completed on a case-by-case basis. The credits cannot apply to a previously completed degree and must be substituted with an approved elective. Only courses for which an earned grade of "B" or better and taken within seven (7) years prior to entering the MMOL program will be considered.

Transfer Credits from the Moakley Center for Public Management's Certificate Programs

Students who have completed a certificate program through the Suffolk University Moakley Center for Public Management may have an opportunity to reduce credit requirements to an SBS graduate degree program (MBA, MMOL, MSA, MST, MHA, MSBA, or MSM). All course waivers and/or transfers vary by program and are reviewed on a case-by-case basis by the respective SBS Graduate Programs Office.

In order for a course to be considered, it must have an SBS graduate program course equivalent, the student must have earned a grade of B or better, and the student must have successfully completed the certificate prior to enrolling in the SBS graduate degree program.

Applicants must also meet the admission standards for the SBS Graduate degree program to which they are applying.
