So next week, on May 27th at 9AM PST I will be graduating and receiving my BA in History. I'm right on the borderline of Cum Laude and Magna Cum Laude (degrees of honors), and I won't know what I have until they process the grade for this last class I am taking. I really hope I get bumped up to Magna Cum Laude, I had high honors in high school and it made me feel awesome. I think I only got regular honors at LBCC... been so long I don't remember. But yeah, yay!

I didn't know you were still in college, congratulations. Now days it seems like a lot of people don't make it all the way through, glad to see that you did.

Congratulations! It's great that you are Cum Laude, I could never get that. I'm much too lazy to do all my work completely.

Yeah, it took me longer because I switched majors a few times. Started out as a psychology major, then went to biology, and lastly history. Between that and money/time issues it stretched it out to eight years.

Technically I should still have a year left. Planning on taking a program that gets me a teaching credential and a Masters in Education once I move to Pennsylvania... whenever the hell that is.

Psychology was an impacted major (translation: nearly impossible to get in to) and I found out that most teachers in the state currently majored in psychology so it lessened my chances of getting hired. I wanted to teach biology, so I went with bio... but even though high school biology does not even touch physics or calculus like field research, there is no lower path to take and I could not handle calculus. So I went to my second favorite subject to teach, history (no math requirement). For awhile I was planning on double-majoring but when I hit the mathematical road-block I decided to just stick with what I could handle. And poof, here I am.

Congratulations! Glad that you're getting your degree. Have no clue what Cum Laude is, but I'm going to assume that it's very good. So congratulations!

Congrats Elara! I can't believe you're done. I think I've known you through this entire process

And yeah, it is such a relief to be done. Work stress is totally different than school stress. And you get paid to be stressed at work as opposed to paying to get stressed in school

Indeed. I've already dealt with work stress... somehow I can manage it better. *shrug*

And Rasen, the Cum Laude definition is the Latin honors system used by universities. Cum Laude means "with honor", Magna Cum Laude means "with great honor" and Summa Cum Laude means "with highest honor". The requisite GPA for each level varies slightly by institution but generally it's 3.0-3.69 for Cum Laude, 3.7-3.99 for Manga and 4.0+ for Summa. I forget exactly what it is for my school I just know I am on the border of Magna and I want it really bad.

Good work Elara. I'm certain it was alot of hard work getting where you are now.
I know I couldn't put up with years of theoretical study, so it's an impressive feat to say the least.
I hope that it all pays off for you.

Congrats. I wish I was getting ready to graduate. With all the stuff going on I have missed a year and a half of school. I don't think I will graduate for another three years . All my friends I started with will be seniors in the fall.... depressing

Way to be super smart btw!

Got the classifications from my school:

1. equal to or greater than 3.950 graduated summa cum laude,
2. equal to or greater than 3.750 but less than 3.950 graduated magna cum laude, and
3. equal to or greater than 3.500 but less than 3.750 graduated cum laude.


So I got my final grade back from my last class... 92.3%, the highest in the class. This only bumps my GPA to a 3.712... I miss Magna by less than four damn points! ARGH!! Oh well... I guess any cum laude is better than none, right?

I still have the chance for departmental honors... but those only get listed on your transcripts. Still not sure how they do those.

I think what really irks me is that my overall GPA is the 3.712. My GPA for just classes taken at CSULB is 3.821, more than enough to qualify... but they use overall to determine. Sadness.

Has it always been your goal to be a teacher? That is what you'll be going for, correct?

My stupid college only had "honors". They didn't even include a "high honors". If you have a 90% average or higher, you get it.

I'm in the US, drag00n.

And it's been my goal for awhile LK... at least since high school. I've noticed that the teacher plays a huge part in how much students learns, and I've had both really good teachers and really bad. I want to be one of those really good teachers that get the students interested in history so that they really learn it.
