Are there weighted gpas in college?

from my understanding, honors programs aren’t necessarily more advanced, but rather more challenging than the regular course equivalent.

when you graduate, assuming you have a certain cumulative gpa, your degree will say “In cursu honorum” (in the honors course) or something to that extent. it essentially acknowledges that you were enrolled in an honors program. keep in mind this is in ADDITION to getting a possible cum laude/magna cum laude/summa cum laude if you meet the gpa requirements for that too. find out through your school.

so there you have it. your gpa is not weighted, but your accomplishment is acknowledged if you meet a certain gpa.
