The Department of Mathematics awards honors (cum laude) and high honors
(magna cum laude and summa cum laude) to graduating mathematics majors
who have demonstrated outstanding ability in the major program.
The awards are determined by the Mathematics Major
Committee in the latter part of the semester prior to graduation.
The committee will primarily be looking for excellent performance in mathematics
courses, particularly in challenging courses at the 400 level or beyond.
Participation in the Honors Seminar (MATH 401) for one semester, or independent
study at a high performance level can also contribute to honors. Students
interested in honors should consult their major advisors concerning suitable
courses.
Outstanding performance in graduate classes or an excellent senior
thesis can also contribute to high honors. Students interested in
high honors should consult their major advisors and the chair of the department's
Mathematics Major Committee during the second semester of their junior
year.
