Diploma programs of study at colleges and universities are not designed as degree programs. They are usually very specific and career oriented, however they do not typically meet the course and credit requirements of a degree. For example, a diploma program as a licensed practical nurse versus a degree as a registered nurse.Typically, the degree is the level of education you have completed at the college level. The diploma is the piece of paper that validates that level of completion. The other document that validates completion of the degree is the official transcript which indicates completion, the courses taken and the grades received, as well as the official school seal and signature of the registrar.
