Translation from Spanish To english

Please help me to translate "POR CUANTO:" Into English; this is the first phrase you find in a Diplome.
Thanks

Hi!

I would simply translate it in context:

Considering that this student has completed...

Given that this student has completed...

or more sophisticated: Inasmuch as this student has completed...

or maybe "In recognition of...."

I like that one because it shows all the efforts a degree requires.
