Almost all U.S. universities and colleges award bachelor's degrees with honors -- usually "*** laude" (with honor/praise), "magna *** laude" (with great honor/praise), the occasionally seen "maxima *** laude" (with maximal honor/praise), and "summa *** laude" (with highest honor/praise) -- degrees without honors are awarded "rite".[citation needed] Requirements for such notations of honors generally include minimum Grade Point Averages (GPA), with the highest average required for the "summa" distinction. In the case of a few schools, a senior thesis for degrees in the humanities, and laboratory research for "natural science" (and, sometimes, "social science") degrees is also required. A notable exception is the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which does not have a dean's list, *** laude recognition, or undergraduate honors subjects. Some schools require students to pass comprehensive exams in order to receive a bachelor's degree.

Bachelors' degrees in the United States are typically designed to be completed in four years of full-time study, although some programs (such as Engineering) usually take five, and some universities and colleges allow ambitious students (usually with the help of summer school and/or high school Advanced Placement courses) to complete them in as little as three years. Some U.S. colleges and universities have a separate academic track known as an "honors" or "scholars" program, generally offered to the top percentile of students (based on GPA), and offering more challenging courses or more individually-directed seminars or research projects in lieu of the standard core curriculum. The students are awarded the same bachelor's degree as students completing the standard curriculum, but with the notation "in cursu honorum" on the transcript and the diploma. Usually, the above "laude" honors are separate from the notation for this honors course, but a student in the honors course generally must maintain grades at least worthy of the "*** laude" notation anyway. Hence, a graduate might receive a diploma Artium Baccalaureatum rite or Artium Baccalaureatum summa *** laude in the regular course, or Artium Baccalaureatum summa *** laude in cursu honorum, for instance.

If the student has completed the requirements for an "Honors" degree only in a particular discipline (e.g., English language and literature), the degree is designated accordingly (e.g., B.A. with Honors in English). In this case, the degree candidate will complete the normal curriculum for all subjects except the selected discipline ("English", in the preceding example). The requirements in either case usually require completion of particular Honors seminars, independent research at a level higher than usually required (often with greater personal supervision by faculty than usual), and a written Honors thesis in the major subject.

As of 2003, about one in four U.S. adults (27 percent) above the age of 25 had attained at least a bachelor’s degree, the highest percentage ever
