BGSU Honors students are able to graduate with three kinds of Honors: departmental honors (which are awarded by individual departments to their outstanding graduates); “Latin” honors such as cum laude and magna cum laude (which are based strictly on a formula emphasizing grade point average); and University Honors (which are awarded by the Honors Program). The primary requirements for Graduation with University Honors are a University grade point average of 3.5 or above, a minimum 23 hours of Honors coursework in a range of fields (including at least one Honors seminar), and the completion of an Honors Project. Each year, a number of BGSU Honors students are also initiated into distinguished academic fraternities, including Phi Beta Kappa, Phi Kappa Phi, and Golden Key Honor Society.
