  • It varies depending on the school. Most schools have a GPA requirement, such as cum laude >3.7, magna cum laude >3.8, and summa cum laude is >3.9.

    For my associates a 4.0 was required for summa cum laude but that seemed uncommon. My bachelor’s required the former system.

    Yet some still just assign it based on top % of the graduating class. You can almost certainly Google, “Latin honors YourUniversityHere” and find it for a specific university.




  • You say that but I’ve had two classes this semester with an 70%+ fail rate. One of them probably needs addressed in the sense the professor was ass, but one was just straight up hard. They gave no fucks about failing over half the class. The pre-req for that class also had a 60% failure rate (based on who I see repeating it).

    I don’t doubt some universities are degree mills, and ASU has always been known as a party school, but I assure you it’s not as widespread as some would believe based on my experiences at 3 universities.

    That being said, the quality of student certainly seems to have dropped.
