It depends on the student, the college or university, and the rigor of the specific program of study. In any case, if you have a passion for what you do, you will do well. If you concentrate and do the best that you can do, the grades will take care of themselves, and you will probably do better than cum laude.
At most colleges and universities, students can graduate with Latin honors. Cum laude, Summa cum laude, and Magna cum laude are the honors distinction.
The Graduate degree AB magna cum laude is an honors degree. It is in the area of Arts and Sciences.
Cum laude means 'with honor', magna cum laude is 'with high honor', and summa cum laude means 'with the greatest honor'. These designations are granted to every graduate who meets a required grade-point average, so several students in a class, or even an entire class, could graduate cum laude, magna cum laude, or summa cum laude. The valedictorian is the student with the highest academic rank in the class, so you would expect he would at least be a cum laude graduate. But if you have a class where no one has over a B average, there will still be a valedictorian but he will not be graduated with honors.
