The following grade point average criteria are established by the faculty for the determination of graduation honors for students in the Master of Arts and Master of Divinity programs:

• 3.60 cum laude 
• 3.75 magna cum laude
• 3.90 summa cum laude

Honors are based on the cumulative average as of the end of the interim session (February 1) prior to graduation and will be adjusted at the close of the record on the student’s transcript only, not on the graduation program. Students who have committed acts of academic dishonesty are not eligible to receive honors. Students of Hebrew language who meet the scholastic requirements are inducted each spring into the Hebrew Honor Society Eta Beta Rho.
