It is very rare to receive Latin honors from a master's or doctoral program. It is, however, possible to graduate 'with distinction'.

Most masters programs are highly competitive and require a 3.00 to remain registered and graduate (B average).
* The writer spent 4 years working at a tier 1, PACE research institution managing commencement where all degree levels were administered including doctorates, PharmD, JD, PhD in Social Work, PhD in Business, MLIS, EdD and more. We only administered Latin honors to undergraduates receiving Bachelors Degrees.
i have no clue if a 3.12 is honors. but for you it shouldn't be because you spelt honors "honers" so no you should not get any form of honors
3.0
The minimum GPA required to graduate with honors in the Masters program is typically a 3.5 or higher.
The minimum GPA requirement for receiving honors in graduate school is typically a 3.5 or higher.
The minimum GPA required to graduate with honors in a master's degree program is typically 3.5 or higher.
Weighted GPA
Second Honors.
3.0 and all B's or higher - Second Honors 3.5 and all B's or higher - First Honors 4.0 and all B's or higher - Distinguished Honors
You can achieve a 5.0 GPA with AP and Honors classes at many schools. The normal "perfect" GPA is a 4.0. Weighted classes (AP and Honors) can make your GPA higher than a perfect 4.0 if you make a B or higher in those classes. So, a 4.80 is a really great GPA. It's about the equivalent of an A+++ basically.
3.5
yes, someone can. For example if someone is taking an honors class or an AP class then they receive an extra GPA point for an A in said class. So if a person took 3 honors classes and got A's in all of the classes, their GPA would be rounded to around a 4.3
Generally, a GPA above a 3.6 is required, with many honors/AP/IB courses. However, the required GPA can be lower for athletes and minority students.
