[comp.edu] Departments on degrees?

Recently, at my university on a local newsgroup for undergrad
discussion there has been some debate as to wheather it is appropriate
to have the name of a student's undergrad department on the BA/BS
diploma.

Students at UB didn't have much choice in this matter: only the name
of the university was listed.  Last year there was a bit of protest
and the Powers That Be have decided that department names could be put
on undergrad diplomas. (The solipsist (sp?) in me will believe it when
he sees it...)

However the question still remains..... "is this normal?"

I've decided to turn to the net for help.  Could you folks out there
please drop me a line saying:
	
	o  Wheather your undergrad diploma come emblazoned with the
	   name of your acedemic department? 

	o  The name of the undergrad institution you graduated from.

I'll summarize and post to the net if there's interest....

Thanks!
