What are the requirements to graduate summa cum laude, magna cum laude and cum laude?
To graduate summa cum laude, a student must have a 3.7 upper division GPA and complete a senior project (a thesis, research project, or some other body of creative work). To graduate magna cum laude, a 3.7 upper division GPA is required along with a senior project. The appropriate departmental or college faculty committee decides whether a project warrants a summa cum laude or magna cum laude. To graduate cum laude, the student must earn a 3.4 upper division GPA; no senior project is required.
