Graduation with Distinction

Global health co-majors can pursue graduation with distinction in global health, your co-major or both. If you are interested in pursuing graduation with distinction in global health, we encourage you to pursue a double honors thesis, as this will allow you to integrate what you have learned in both majors. If you earn double honors, both distinctions will be indicated on your transcript and the distinction will be noted in the commencement program.
