Latin Honors—cum laude, magna cum laude and summa cum laude—are awarded at graduation to bachelor's degree candidates who have achieved the highest scholastic performance among their peers, and have competed at least 64 credits at Emmanuel College. Latin Honors are awarded to members of the graduating class as listed below:
Distinction in the Field of Concentration
Students who earn a grade point average of 3.5 in major courses have the opportunity to complete a significant research project to graduate with distinction in their field of concentration. The projects are determined in consultation with the student's faculty advisor and presented on Senior Distinction Day, which takes place in April of each year.
Distinction in the Field of Individualized Majors
For students with an individualized major, in addition to earning a 3.5 average in all courses in the major program, a project must be completed as part of a capstone course or culminating experience. The project must be approved for distinction by two faculty members representing different academic disciplines within the individualized major. Transfer students' qualification for honors is based on the grade point average achieved at Emmanuel College.
