I graduated from Harvard Summa Cum Laude.
He graduated cum laude from Harvard University in June 1940.
Barack Obama entered Harvard Law School in late 1988, this would make him 27-years-old at the time. He later graduated magna cum laude in 1991.
While that information has not been made public, we do know that he graduated from Harvard "Magna Cum Laude"-- this sort of academic honor is given only to the top 10% of Harvard students.
He graduated cum laude from Harvard with a degree in international affairs in 1940.
Uh.... Think about it, there is one graduation every year, which means there is one magna cum laude every year (if indeed there is only one) Harvard has been arouond for almost 300 years. Do the math. People should not answer questions when they know nothing about the subject. There are three Latin degrees indicating outstanding achievement: cum laude (with distinction), magna cum laude (with high distinction), and summa cum laude (with the highest distinction). At Harvard School of Law, only 10% of each graduating class graduates magna cum laude, and only one student graduates summa cum laude. Where President Obama is concerned, it is possible he graduated second in his class when he received his degree magna cum laude.
Former US president John F Kennedy majored in international affairs. He graduated from Harvard University with a Bachelor of Science cum laude in international affairs.
He was named the editor of the Harvard Law Review, an honor only given to a top student who has great potential in the legal profession. He also graduated Magna Cum Laude, meaning his grades were in the top 10% of his class at Harvard.
Mitt Romney graduated Harvard Business School, with a cross campus exchange program with Harvard Law School, with a joint Juris Doctor /MBA Degree, in 1975. He graduated Cum Laude (with honors).
They both have J.D. from Harvard. Obama's GPA was higher. They both graduated cum laude (with honors)
Yes, Barack Obama graduated from Harvard Law School Magna Cum Laude, which means top 10% by grade in his class. Grading is done blindly (without names, only numbers) at HLS. http://www.thecrimson.com/article/2007/1/19/obama-left-mark-on-hls-days/ http://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/014/316vvyov.asp http://www.biography.com/articles/Barack-Obama-12782369 http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2007/may/09/barackobama.uselections20081
Harvard typically does not release that information, so unless the person has self-identified, we don't know his or her name. What we do know is that the president graduated in the top 10% of his class, since he received Latin honors ("magna cum laude"), an award given to students who show academic excellence.
