Distinguished Degrees and Careers

I'm gonna make an educated guess as I was looking for the same answer and say having the skill for the degree at level 3-5 will most likely get you the distinguished one (however I have not found this confirmed yet simply a guess).

Thanks @ashley9483! I was kind of thinking the same. Wondering which skills I need to level up for access to each kind of degree. I guess it’s a guessing game for now!

I wrote this down from a lets play, which only showed University of Britechester (Green one)

Degrees give mid-level start at careers while Distinguished Degrees gives a high-level start. Both have signing bonuses, increased daily pay, job performance, and more vacation days.

Degrees:
Biology leads to = bodybuilder
Computer Science = Computer Engineer, Freelance Programmer, Oracle, and Start-up Entrepreneur
Economics = Administrator and Investor
Physics = Mechanical Engineer and Space Ranger
Psychology = Diamond Agent and Professor
Villany = Boss, Interstellar Smuggler, and Villain

Distinguished Degrees:
History = Judge
Language + Literature = Author, Freelance Writer, and Private Attorney.

So... no degrees for dlc careers, such as doc is what I read?

I'm not sure, not all of them showed up for her probably due to her skills.

Or they didn't have all packs installed. Boosted careers according to another gameplay video:
Biology - Bodybuilder, Botanist, Doctor, Marine Biologist
Computer Science - Computer Engineer, Freelance Programmer, Oracle, Start-up Entrepreneur
Economics - Administrator, Enviromental Manager, Investor
Physics - Mechanical Engineer, Scientist, Space Ranger
Villainy - Boss, Interstellar Smuggler, Villain

I hope you still can apply for distinguished degrees if you start as an adult

Good! I suppose if there's one for doc, there will be distinguished degrees for others aswell.

A Distinguished Degree is simply a degree from a program that is considered prestigious from that school. All degrees are available with "Distinguished" status, but Britechester has seven of them and the remaining six are at Foxbury.

You can receive a degree in History from Foxbury, but it won't be quite as prestigious as one from Britechester.
You can get a degree in Economics from Britechester, but it won't be quite as prestigious as one from Foxbury.

Oooh good insight @Spikefan74 and @kusurusu! Good work, Sims fam! ????????????

Wonder how DU impacts Get Famous.
Is there any value to send a teen to college if they are on the path to becoming famous and being an actor?
Like how would a degree in Drama really impact a Get Famous career?
