Only for certain degrees and when applying to graduate schools. Some employers (that have the flexibility to select from huge pools) might weed out based on Latin Honors, but most don't have that luxury.

i think we're talking about honors courses, not latin honors.

graduate schools care most about what kind of research you've done as an undergraduate.  if you've co-published a paper, then you've pretty much got a foot in the door.

ah. at my university we aren't allowed to take honors courses without being in the latin honors program, hence i've stopped differentiating between the two.

i didn't mean graduate schools in the PhD sense, only. i meant in the overall graduate/professional school (PhD, ScD, MD, JD, PharmD, DDS) senses. there, having graduated with latin honors would be a big advantage.

probably, especially for JD.  I think anything with a tinge of research involved appreciates undergraduate research more than distinctions, though.
