How are degrees magna cum laude determined?
Each June, a combined total of 20% of the class will graduate summa cum laude and magna cum laude. In order to graduate magna cum laude, students must be recommended for “highest honors” or “high honors” by their concentration, have a grade point average that puts them in the top 20% of all students recommended for “highest honors” or “high honors,” and have not been recommended for a degree summa cum laude.
