Print all ICMP information

The ICMP is a 24 credit hour program. One credit hour is equivalent to eight class sessions of 80 minutes each. The credit hours are determined by the amount of lecture, laboratory, and field experience hours for each course. Thorough preparation of assignments and enthusiastic participation during class activities are required.

 

Grades and Academic Standards

Letter grades are based on the following 4.0 scale:

Grade Grade Points Achievement
A 4 Excellent
B 3 Good
C 2 Average
D 1 Below Average
F 0 Failure
W 0 Withdrawal

The grades for all courses are used to calculate the cumulative grade point average (GPA) at the end of the program. The GPA is computed by dividing the total grade points by the total credit hours earned. You must have a minimum 3.0 GPA in order to receive the Graduate Diploma.

Graduate Diploma

JAIMS awards a Graduate Diploma when the requirements of the ICMP are successfully fulfilled with a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0.

Honors and Awards

A Graduate Diploma with Highest Distinction is awarded to participants who complete the ICMP with a cumulative GPA of 4.0. A Graduate Diploma with High Distinction is awarded to those with a cumulative GPA of 3.8 or higher.

The Francis A. Wong Award is presented by JAIMS at the end of the program on the basis of "promising entrepreneurial skills as evidenced by demonstrative initiative and leadership qualities during his/her attendance as a student of JAIMS." The recipient's name is engraved on a plaque displayed at JAIMS.

The Students' Choice Award is presented to the participant selected by classmates based on criteria determined by class members. The recipient's name is engraved on a perpetual trophy, and the recipient gives the ICMP class speech during the Closing Ceremony.

The Funika Scholarship was established in 1998 by Nuri Sozkesen, a JMP-11 and AMP-23 alumnus, and his wife, Ilknur, through the Funika Foundation. Those eligible for consideration are participants from developing countries with a GPA of 4.0 in all JAIMS graded courses prior to the field of study in Japan, France, or the U.S. The recipient receives a small cash prize and has his or her name engraved on a perpetual plaque.
