"Nota" magna cum laude

Non-PRO Spanish to English Science Education / Pedagogy
Hola. Estoy traduciendo un currículum y tengo una duda bastante boba pero que me está volviendo loco. En el CV aparece una tesis que esta persona defendió, y su nota fue "magna cum laude". Lo que necesito saber es cómo traducirían "NOTA" en este caso. No me gusta 'mark' ni 'grade', ni otras que he visto.

GRACIAS!
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

PRO (1): Henry Hinds

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.

Non-Pro? Pides opiniones profesionales y las recogidas son bastante variadas. La pregunta no es para gente cualquiera, es "Pro".

the normal usage with degree results is "award" in some shape or form so it would be good to see how this particular CV has been set up :)

Those who graduate in the top 30% of their college/school receive cum laude (honors); those in the top 15% of their college/school receive magna cum laude ...

Degree Name, magna cum laude

Just type the name of a degree followed by a comma and magna cum laude (you should probably put the magna cum laude in italics).

Look at the second link. It gives you the exact format (as I described above).
