College Announces Spring 2020 Bachelor's Degree Recipients Awarded Honors
Congratulations to the Spring 2020 bachelor's degree recipients from the University of Maryland's College of Computer, Mathematical, and Natural Sciences (CMNS) who earned Latin, High GPA and/or Departmental Honors. These students are typically honored at the annual CMNS Undergraduate Honors Reception, which was canceled this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Summa Cum Laude was awarded to students with a GPA of 4.000-3.980, Magna Cum Laude was awarded to students with a GPA of 3.979-3.941, and Cum Laude was awarded to students with a GPA of 3.940-3.895. Students with a GPA of 3.894-3.800 were also honored.
Departmental honors programs vary, but they typically involve upper-level course requirements and working closely with a faculty mentor on an independent research or scholarly project culminating in a thesis.
