English term
B.S. cum laude with Honors
3.9-plus: summa cum laude). Unlike, the "with Honors" distinction, cum laude actually appears on my diploma.
I have seen a translation for B.A. with Honors as a Laurea cum laude with overwhelming agreement. With that in mind, how should my B.S. cum laude with Honors be translated?
Thank you for any help you can give me.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Laurea a pieni voti con menzione speciale per tesi in scienze geologiche
because "laurea a pieni voti" is an excellent result (not the maximum achievement but something going very near the maximum such as 100/110)
and the wording "menzione speciale" is a special honor to a thesis (you usually get it with laurea con il massimo dei voti 110/110 but it can be ok in this case in my opinion)
| thank you |
Discussion
To graduate with honors one had to do an Honors Thesis in one's major. So, I had to choose an advisor and work on a project with him, then write a thesis that was then submitted to the Honor's Program for approval.
This was not required for graduation. It was extra.
