Is anyone else frustrated that UMUC will not put your degree name on your diploma? It just says "Bachelors of Science". In what?

I graduated in 1996 and 1998 with a Bachelor's degree, and I don't remember whether or not they put the degree on there... but my 2001 Master's degree says Master of Software Engineering. It's there.

That's not unusual. Both of my undergraduate degrees (one of which is from UMUC, 2009) just have the degree, not the discipline on them. I think it has to do with the way the Maryland Higher Education Commission accredits the programs.

I finished my masters from there last August....it was all new to me because there was no "online" anything when I finished my BA in 1998. However, my Diploma does say what my degree was in.

It's not uncommon for colleges simply to state that the Bachelor's is one of Science, Art or Math. The actual type of degree is listed on your college transcript.

I believe that is the way most college do this. I just completed my MS in Leadership from Duquesne and the diploma simply states Masters of Science.

Maybe something changed, because I just graduated from there and it had my discipline listed.

Campbell University did the same for me with my associates and bachelors. It probably depends on the college or that is the norm.
