Graduation with Honors

Graduation with honors is awarded to those students who have achieved excellence in their course work in the Department and undertaken a balanced program inside and outside the major. 
The Spanish Department criteria for awarding honors to its majors are as follows:

  • GPA in the major of 3.5
  • A cumulative GPA of 3.4
  • Participation in SEPC and/or related departmental activities
  • Completion of a third seminar in a third area of study offered by the department.

Students convicted of academic dishonesty are not eligible for honors, except students who commit only one offense and receive a less-than-normal penalty for the offense.
Students should speak with academic advisors for more detailed information.
