Lawrence University recognizes superior academic performance of the graduating class.

Class of 2026 Honors in Course

Honors in Course—cum laude, magna cum laude and summa cum laude—are determined by cumulative grade point averages in a student’s four-year program. A candidate for the Bachelor of Music degree receives magna cum laude or summa cum laude if, in addition to fulfilling these requirements, the student has demonstrated a superior level of achievement in another musical area as well as in a major.
