Graduate Education Commencement and Honors

Graduate Education Program honors are awarded to candidates of outstanding scholarship in their area of concentration at the School of Education and Human Services Class Night. To be eligible for consideration, a candidate must have a cumulative grade point average of 4.0 and have demonstrated outstanding disposition for teaching. In the event that several teacher candidates are eligible for honors, the final decision will be made by the Graduate Program Faculty.

Exceptional student teaching experience is considered in awarding Graduate Program Honors and Honorable Mention in the Initial Certification Program. Outstanding thesis completion and presentation is considered in awarding Honors and Honorable Mention in the Professional Certification Program.

December and May graduates are eligible for Honors. Teacher candidates who complete degree requirements during the summer and graduate in August are not eligible for honors which are conferred at the School of Education and Human Services Class Night in May.

Note: Graduate Education students who are within three (3) credits of program completion and have registered for these credits to be taken at Molloy University during the summer session are permitted to participate in the commencement ceremonies held in May. The names of these students will not appear in the Commencement Brochure.
