En relación a los "honores", puede que en E.E.U.U. sea diferente, pero en el Reino Unido, el "honor" lo tiene el curso. No sé si me explico bien, así que mira este enlace:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Bachelor's_degree_class...
En concreto:
"The biggest distinction made is whether the degree is awarded with or without honours. Nowadays, nearly all candidates sit for honours; an ordinary (or pass) degree (i.e. a degree without honours) is usually awarded to a candidate who marginally fails the honours examination, or significant parts of it. A candidate who fails badly is usually allowed to retake the examination for a pass degree, as most universities prohibit such a student from receiving honours."
O sea, que tendrías que suspender los exámenes para que no te dieran los "honores".
