Graduate Honors Citation

Students in a master's degree program who earn a certain GPA at the time of graduation will receive one of the following honors citations on their diploma:

• Graduate students in a master's degree program with a cumulative GPA of 3.9 to 3.94 at the completion of their degree requirements will receive the designation of “Graduate with Distinction.”
• Graduate students in a master's degree program with a cumulative GPA of 3.95 to 4.0 will receive the designation of “Graduate with High Distinction.”
• JWMI students in the top 10% of their graduating class will be recognized as Welch Scholars.
• JWMI students with a cumulative GPA of 3.75 or higher at the completion of their degree requirements will receive the designation, "Graduation with Distinction".

Graduate honors citations do not apply to graduate certificate programs.

JWMI students who are found by the Office of Student Affairs to have committed an academic integrity violation will no longer be eligible to be a Welch Scholar or for the Graduation with Distinction designation.
