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.

    I majored in accounting and business finance. But I’ve always thought of having two degrees. I could not have majored in business finance and have 1 degree. I don’t think you’re required to even have a minor some places.

    At my uni (and most Canadian universities), that would be one degree as a Bachelor of Arts, with majors in accounting and business finance. And You don’t need any minor here, either 1 specialist, 2 majors, or 1 major and 2 minors = 1 degree.
