With DU offering sims normal degrees and distinguished degrees, just out of interest what exactly do you think a distinguished degree is?

- I figured Distinguished Degrees are just name recognition degrees like "Harvard Law/Medical, MIT Engineering, Cambridge Literature/History, Juilliard School Preforming Arts.
So it gives you a boost based on the schools name in that field. "Tenchi2a;c-17308012" wrote:

I suspect this is the case. It's a pity we can't study the same subject twice - studying a normal degree in say, biology, followed by a distinguished degree in biology would make it feel like undergrad and postgrad.
Nevermind though. It's a little thing but I'm still happy with the content.- I was just reading a summary of the Q&A and it sounds like they work like an honors program. Distinguished degrees require more skills to be accepted and more credits to graduate. This is similar to most honor's programs in real life that have additional requirements for a degree over non-honors.
