From today's On the Fly newsletter. UMPI will no longer be printing diplomas at UMPI! This is a change.
December graduates
Planning to finish your degree requirements in December 2022? Please complete your application to graduate (found in your MaineStreet Student Center) as soon as possible to avoid delays in issuing your degree. Not sure how close you are to graduating? Contact your Professional Academic Advisor for help with your degree completion plan. Please fill out this Google form about May 2023 Commencement participation and whether you wish to receive a diploma cover. The Registrar's Office will be using a new diploma platform called Parchment, so diplomas will no longer be printed in-house. Directions for creating your Parchment account will follow once degrees have been conferred.

Huh? Parchment will be printing the diplomas and sending them out. Previously, UMPI printed them on campus and shipped them.

I wonder if that changes what is printed on the diplomas. I know previously UMPI was able to pack a lot of info on their diplomas, including minors and such. Hopefully this doesn't change that, I alway thought that was cool.
This is as opposed to how TESU does it, which is one thing I don't like about TESU. I'm going to have two generic looking diplomas that say "Bachelor of Arts" without the field of study listed, even though they are two very different fields.

They had already changed what was printed on the diploma. Less info on it. Not a big deal since many schools only list the degree type on the diploma.

Those who earned a Liberal Arts degree tend to desire more on the diploma, more because, at least in the business environment, the perception is a less rigorous degree due to the high elective count and lack of requirements in UL courses compared to a business degree. One could surmise that the minors listed for the degree earner beef up optics when interviewing outside of teaching opportunities. Employers tend not to put much weight into minors, so it feels more for vanity than intrinsic value. However, if you have two-three minors, I am sure it feels nice to have them listed if hanging on your wall.
This post is not to personally breathe energy into the value of the Liberal Arts degree. Overall, earning a degree isn't easy, and by the global numbers, any degree should be celebrated and carry great pride in the accomplishment.

Employers don't see what's printed on your diploma. They rarely even see transcripts which is where all of the details are printed.
