She graduated her Masters with a 4.0. I didn’t know graduate programs didn’t award a title, though. She did get extra tassels on her hat, so it was recognized, Latin honors or not.
Edit: her graduate program had an honors society, which was the equivalent of Summa for graduates. That’s what the tassels were for. I had to check with her: I didn’t myself rise to such lofty heights.
Top xx% may get “with distinction”. I held a 4.13 (capped at 4.0). I went on to teach at the institution for a few years after graduating as well. So I’ve spent a significant amount of time in academia.
But because of the higher standard for grad schools, typically requiring a 3.0+ to stay active (rather than the typical undergrad 2.0), latin honors dont make sense if the whole grad year is basically getting them. So they’re not commonly issued.
