Departmental Distinction
In addition to the university-wide University Honors Program, which offers courses listed within the General Education Curriculum for the academically strongest SMU students, which results in the designation "Honors in the Liberal Arts" on the diploma, there is also graduation with Latin Honors (based on the grade point average) computed at the time of graduation, and school or department based Honors Programs. The Cox School of Business awards special Cox Honors distinction to students who have successfully completed the requirements for the Cox B.B.A. Honors Program. Departmental Distinction (or Honors) may be awarded in individual Dedman College and Meadows School of the Arts departments or divisions.
