| + | ======= Graduation with Honors ======= | ||
| + | Every semester the Department of Mathematics and Statistics grants to some of our best graduating majors a distinction called "honors". To receive the distinction, a student has to, as a minimum, have at least 3.5 grade point | ||
| + | average for the major courses. In addition, a student should either be in a BS program, or, if in a BA program, have a strong record of success in mathematics or actuarial science (like above 3.9 GPA, independent work in mathematics, significantly more coursework in the math courses than what is required by the BA program, significantly more actuarial exams passed than the norm, in the case of a BA actuarial science major, research activities in mathematics, etc). These are just some of the guiding criteria, but the final decision is made by the Undergraduate Committee | ||
| + | after careful review of the students' files. | ||
| + | |||
| + | In recent semesters, we have decided to call for self nomination. Every student who is graduating in the current semester, and satisfies the above criteria, or has some other compelling reason to qualify for honors, should self-nominate himself or herself by filling an online form. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The online form for self nomination will be sent out to all math majors by email. If you are a graduating student who has not received the email containing the link to the self nomination form 4--5 week into the semester, you should make contact with the [[http://matrix.math.binghamton.edu/d/mysql/create_comm_chairs|Director of Undergraduate Studies]]. | ||
