A graduation application must be completed and all degree requirements must be met for your degree to be awarded and to receive a diploma.
ALL DIPLOMAS WILL READ “EAST TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY”
University officials made the decision to omit the name of the academic major from the diploma. The degree earned is the official degree approved by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board and the A&M System. Majors are printed on official transcripts and will not appear on your diploma unless it is actually part of the degree name.
If you have a double major under a single degree plan, you will receive one diploma. Students cannot pursue two undergraduate degrees at the same time.
Your official transcript will show the specifics of your degree(s).
