Yes it is. I have a bachelor of arts degree in psychology, and graduate summa cum laude.
Summa cum laude is the highest it means "With highest honor"Magna cum laude means "With great Honor"Cum Laude means "With honor"
Engregia Cum Laude is the highest honor.
Within the United States, almost all U.S. universities and colleges award bachelor's degrees with honors. They are usually "cum laude" (with honor/praise), "magna cum laude"(with great honor/praise), the occasionally seen "maxima cum laude" (with maximal honor/praise), and "summa cum laude" (with highest honor/praise) -- degrees without honors are awarded "rite." Requirements for such notations of honors generally include minimum Grade Point Averages (GPA), with the highest average required for the "summa" distinction.
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.
Within the United States there are three. * cum laude * magna cum laude * summa cum laude (highest honors)
There are typically, but not always, three types of Latin honors. Many institutions only employ the first two. In order of increasing level of honor, they are: * cum laude, "with honor" (direct translation); "with praise" * magna cum laude, "with great honor" (direct translation); "with great praise" * summa cum laude, "with highest honor" (direct translation); "with highest praise"
It is summa cum laude. It is the highest honor bestowed on a student for academic excellence.
That is the correct spelling of the honor applied to a graduating student, summa cum laude (with highest honors).
