Who gets Latin Honors?
Approximately 25 percent of each graduating class may receive departmental and/or Latin Honors ( summa cum laude, magna cum laude, and cum laude ). Eligibility for Latin Honors is determined by: 1) completion of the distribution requirements for Latin Honors, taking at least one course in each of the seven major areas of knowledge (see the curriculum section of the catalogue); 2) the highest cumulative grade point averages of the graduating class, which vary from year to year and are identified by the Subcommittee on Honors and Independent Programs of the faculty’s Committee on Academic Policy.
