LSBE Honors
College Honors
The Campus Assembly has established the policy that a maximum of 15 percent of the
graduating class can graduate with college honors. In LSBE, the top 3 percent of the
graduating class (with a GPA of at least 3.80 in all coursework completed in residence
at UMD) will be designated summa cum laude; the next 5 percent (with a GPA of at least
3.50 in all coursework completed in residence at UMD) will be designated magna cum laude;
and the next 7 percent (with a GPA of at least 3.20 in all coursework completed in
residence at UMD) will be designated cum laude.
At the mid-point of each term, the GPAs necessary to achieve these honors are posted
in the LSBE Student Affairs Office. The GPAs are established on the basis of the record
of the previous year’s graduating class. To be eligible for honors, students must earn
at least 30 credits at UMD. For more information, contact the LSBE Student Affairs Office.
Program Honors
Candidates for the bachelor of accounting and bachelor of business administration
degrees are eligible for program honors separate from the college honors described
above. Program honors are noted in the commencement catalog and by inclusion of the
following notation on the student’s transcript: Graduated with Distinction in Business
and Economics.
To be eligible, degree candidates must earn a 3.30 GPA in all LSBE upper division
courses.
Dean’s List for Academic Excellence
Each semester, LSBE students are recognized for high academic achievement by being
placed on the LSBE Dean’s List for Academic Excellence. A memo is placed on the qualifying
students’ transcripts indicating this achievement. To be eligible for the LSBE Dean’s List:
The student must:
- be in residence in the Labovitz School of Business and Economics
