Information for Students Graduating in June 2005 or Later
- What are honors, and how are honors determined at Harvard?
Harvard College recognizes students who have particularly distinguished records by awarding them degrees with honors. There are two types of honors. The first is a recommendation from a student's concentration for what are called English honors. Once the concentration recommends that a student receive honors, high honors, or highest honors for work in the concentration, then that student is also considered for the A.B. or S.B. degree with Latin honors. A small number of students not recommended for English honors by their concentration may still receive Latin honors, based on their overall grade point average.
- What is the significance of Latin honors?
Latin honors of summa cum laude, magna cum laude, and cum laude recognize the distinction of a student's overall record, including the work in the concentration. Beginning in June 2005, the determination of Latin honors will be made with attention to the overall number of students receiving honors in a graduating class. Latin honors of all kinds are noted on diplomas, in the commencement program, and on transcripts.
- What is the significance of English honors?
English honors recognize the quality of the student's work in the concentration and are noted on the transcript. They are not, however, noted on the diploma or in the commencement program. The only exception to this general rule is for students recommended for highest honors by their concentration who are not awarded the degree summa cum laude; these students may receive the degree magna cum laude with highest honors, and this is noted on the diploma and in the commencement program.
- How are English honors determined?
Concentrations may recommend students who complete the concentration's requirements with distinction for honors, high honors, or highest honors. Departments vary in the exact criteria by which they evaluate a student's work in the concentration; check with your tutorial office or your department's Director of Undergraduate Studies to find out how things are done in your program. Students are eligible to be considered for honors when they complete the specific requirements listed in the Handbook for Students for their concentration. Usually this includes a thesis or other senior project. It is important to understand that merely completing the required course work and other requirements is not sufficient to be awarded honors. A student's work must also be evaluated as especially distinguished.
- How are degrees summa cum laude determined?
Each June, between 4% and 5% of the graduating class will be awarded the degree summa cum laude. These students will have been recommended for highest honors by their concentrations, and will have outstanding overall records of achievement, including at least two half courses with grades of A or A- in each of the three main divisional areas (humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences). A subcommittee of the Faculty Council meets each June to look at the records of all students recommended for highest honors and determines the minimum grade point average for the summa degree for that graduating class, conforming to the 4% to 5% target. As noted above, students in this pool who are not recommended for the summa degree may receive the degree magna cum laude with highest honors in their field (if their grade point average is high enough).
- How are degrees magna cum laude determined?
Each June, the Faculty will recommend for the degree magna cum laude those students with the highest grade point averages who have been recommended for highest honors or high honors, and who have not already been recommended for the summa degree, so that the total number of degrees summa cum laude and magna cum laude constitute 20% of the graduating class.
- How are degrees cum laude in field determined?
Each June, the Faculty will recommend for the degree cum laude in field those students with the highest grade point average who have been recommend by their concentrations for highest honors, high honors, or honors, and who have not already been recommended for the summa or the magna degree, so that the total number of degrees summa cum laude, magna cum laude, and cum laude in field represent 50% of the graduating class.
