CONGRATULATIONS!CONGRATULATIONS!

A NOTE FROM THE DEAN

Dear graduates,

Well done on reaching this wonderful milestone in your lives! While we cannot all gather to share the occasion in person this spring, please know how incredibly proud we are of you. We know that completing a degree from this College is no easy feat.

Along the way, you overcame challenges, experienced the thrill of discovery and identified passions that will motivate you for years to come. You leave CBS with the knowledge and skills to take on difficult, complex questions and build the collaborations necessary to find success in whatever field you choose.

From the very start of your time here, we asked you to learn biology by doing biology. You absorbed information about how the world works and put it to work solving problems. As we see in this current moment, the world needs problem solvers. The world needs you. Whatever path you choose, the evidence-based ethos that informed your undergraduate experience will serve you well.

On behalf of the CBS community, I wish you success in whatever comes next, and thank you for the chance to work with you. Helping you become who you are today is one of the greatest joys we as your professors and advisors know.

Best regards,

Dean, College of Biological Sciences

THE BACHELOR OF SCIENCE DEGREEA foundation of liberal education forms the guiding framework of all academic programs for undergraduate students on the University of Minnesota–Twin Cities campus. A liberal education allows students to explore the modes of inquiry and subject matter within the major branches of knowledge. To earn a bachelor of science degree in the College of Biological Sciences, students must successfully complete at least 120 credits, including courses in the social sciences and humanities, history, chemistry, physics and math, as well as in the biological sciences. Students with B.S. degrees from the College of Biological Sciences have the academic foundation needed for a variety of careers in industry, education, government and other fields, and are well prepared for further study in graduate or professional schools.

HONORS AND DISTINCTION DESIGNATIONSCollege of Biological Sciences degree candidates may graduate with either Latin Honors, Distinction or both. These citations are provisional and do not become official until all requirements for the award are fulfilled.

LATIN HONORS DESIGNATIONSStudents graduating from the College of Biological Sciences through the University Honors Program took part in a rigorous course of study, research, scholarship or other creative work in the major, culminating in an Honors thesis representing independent work done under the direction of a faculty supervisor or mentor. Students graduating cum laude (with honor) have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.50 for the last 60 graded credits at University of Minnesota-Twin Cities (UMTC). Magna cum laude (with great honor) awards require a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.66 and summa cum laude (with highest honor) awards require a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.75 in the final 60 graded credits at UMTC.

DISTINCTION DESIGNATIONSStudents earn graduation “with distinction” or “with high distinction” based on cumulative GPA with at least 60 graded credits completed at UMTC. Students graduating “with distinction” must have earned a cumulative GPA of 3.75 or higher in UMTC coursework at the time of graduation; students graduating “with high distinction” must have earned a cumulative GPA of 3.90 or higher in UMTC coursework at the time of graduation. Students graduating with distinction are wearing gold cords and those graduating with high distinction are wearing maroon and gold cords.

Students graduating with the Community Engagement Scholars distinction have completed nine credits of service-learning course work, at least 400 hours of community service, a series of reflective essays and a sustainable project for a community organization. A § symbol indicates Community Engagement Scholars.

Students wearing silver cords are graduating with CBS Dean’s Scholars distinction. They have completed a leadership development program consisting of four credits of leadership coursework, service in the community and a capstone project synthesizing their work as leaders while studying science. A * symbol indicates Dean’s Scholars.

Students wearing purple cords are graduating as part of the President’s Emerging Scholars Program. The President’s Emerging Scholars Program is a four-year opportunity for select undergraduate students at the University of Minnesota with diverse backgrounds and characteristics. A ° symbol indicates President’s Emerging Scholars.

Students wearing the multicolor stoles are graduating as members of the Multicultural Center for Academic Excellence (MCAE). The stole was designed by Sysouk Khambounmy, a University of Minnesota alumnus (‘97), and patterned after the traditional African Kente cloth. The stoles were woven in Ghana and each is unique. The symbols represent interconnectedness, sharing and unity in wisdom
