Diploma Degrees, Majors and Honors

Degree and Major

  • Each diploma includes both the degree earned and major field of study.
  • Diplomas for students whose degrees already include their major field of study in the degree title, such as Bachelor of Science in Nursing, Bachelor of Applied Arts and Sciences or Master of Business Administration, will not have the major field of study below the degree.
  • Minors, specializations, concentrations and sub-plans earned as part of students' degree(s) will not be included on the diploma, but are reflected on the official transcript.

Undergraduate Latin Honors

  • Undergraduate students who have earned academic honors with their baccalaureate degrees will have those honors reflected on their diploma.

All diplomas ordered for graduating students will be printed with the diploma name listed on the student's myUTTyler account. 

  • If there is no diploma name listed, the students' primary name will be printed on the diploma.
