General Information

Participants meet for 30 hours of instruction during the week (lunch and breaks are not counted in instructional hours). Participants must attend the entire institute to receive a certificate of completion from Molloy and the College Board*. Participants who attend only part of the institute will be issued a letter on Molloy College letterhead that is signed by the APSI director certifying the number of hours attended, but they will not receive a certificate.

You must attend each day to receive in-service credit. If you are taking the course for graduate credit, in addition to attending the institute each day, there is a project that is due within 2 weeks of the conclusion of the institute. The summer institute graduate course, EDU 524 is part of our graduate course offerings in the Division of Education and can be used as an elective towards our Master of Science degree in Education.
