  When you’re a wunderkind, exceptions are made.

    It says he maxed out at 11 credits. It doesn’t matter what kind of wunderkind you are, at my uni you would still only get 1.5 degrees in 3 years at that rate. No exceptions. This honestly sounds like a PR stunt by Fullerton, and not the kid actually earning 5 degrees.

      Agreed that it’s probably the school selling themselves, but could be a bunch of overlap? Math 101 counting for each degree, etc.

        My Uni only allows like 2 courses of overlap with Majors and Minors, and you need 2 Majors for a degree, or 1 Major and 2 Minors. So even at 11 courses (and it says that was only 1 semester), you could at most fully complete 3 Majors in 3 years, which would end up being 1.5 degrees.

      I had enough credits to get 3 degrees from my university in 4 years with a semester of community college too, but they said they only give out 2 main degrees or 1 main 2 minors.

        Those aren’t degrees at my Uni, those are majors and minors. 2 Majors, or 1 Major and 2 Minors = 1 degree. Pretty well how every Uni in Canada operates so far as I know.
