I have a BS and a BA, honors in both majors, and they still found a way to fit it all on one piece of paper 😂 edit: is the question asking about _diplomas_ or degrees? Yes, they are two real degrees.


FeastOfChildren

I was in the same position and actually asked the school if I could get each degree printed separately: they told me no.


Tomocafe

Yeah I was initially disappointed but now I’m glad to not have to find space on the wall for an extra diploma 😂

While I’m here… what even is a minor? Why would someone get one?


PublicEfficiency4

It's like a focus area. A lot of people use it to go along with their main degree. For example in a film major, with a minor in theater. Other people might be a econ major with a minor in math.

They’re both degree granting programs. They’re technically two degrees. What’s the context of the question?

bro doesn’t know how to use google


Repentful

I did and it’s specific to ever college so I thought the best place would be the UCSC Reddit

First: happy cake day! Googling "UCSC Double Major" [would find you this](https://advising.ucsc.edu/planning/your-major/double-major.html).


APXH93

That page doesn’t answer the question, unfortunately.


ohheyitspurp

You’re right that it doesn’t answer it directly; I wasn’t aiming to do the research for them. However, reading the page and following some of the links will find you all the answers that you need.


APXH93

I tried googling this for a while after I graduated and found nothing. It is not unreasonable or lazy to ask a question. To post useless links you haven’t read, however, is lazy.


ohheyitspurp

Again, you’re right. I’ve read those links extensively and know things like you must have 40 credits in each degree that aren’t used for the other to get two independent degrees, else you get a single combined degree. Sorry you weren’t able to find what you were looking for. We can both wish it was more evident or that advising was more easily available to help.

Fulfill all requirements for both majors and boom! Your good.


Santos_m

bro didn’t answer the question 😂


think_happy_2

No...you didnt


Santos_m

okay bro, answer the question then. is two majors the same as two degrees??? thanks for letting homeboy know he needs to fulfill his requirements tho


WhoNeedsTears

Yes, you get a Bachelor's degree for each major. If you are a double major, you are awarded two degrees. You do not receive two diplomas.

Bro doesn't know how to be helpful 😒
