Get a Head Start on your Career

Our guarantee that you will graduate in four years positions you for grad school or a successful career ahead of most peers.

4-Year Guarantee


We are committed to making Jewell accessible to bright minds seeking an enriching academic experience. Our four-year graduation degree and three-year degree options are just two things that make Jewell a great value.

William Jewell College believes that graduation in four years is essential for an affordable education and provides great momentum into graduate school or a career. This approach saves the added expense of additional semesters and the lost wages of starting a career later. In recent years, approximately 90% of graduates have graduated in four years or less because William Jewell students are engaged, focused and well mentored by faculty. The four-year graduation guarantee is offered to new, first-year students who meet basic guidelines. With careful planning, you can satisfy the requirements for multiple majors or minors in four years.

How the 4-Year Guarantee Works

Jewell guarantees that students can meet graduation requirements within four years (eight consecutive semesters) from the date of their original matriculation. Students who satisfy the guidelines stated below and who do not meet our graduation requirements within the four years may take up to an additional 16 credit hours required for graduation within one year of the originally-projected graduation date, free of tuition and fees.
