Look below the bachelor’s degree line on this Tennessee Technological University diploma sample and you’ll find a separate line for the major. Above both, the award statement says the Board of Trustees confers the degree on the faculty’s recommendation. At the bottom, the Tennessee state seal sits between the signing areas. The Governor’s title appears on the left, directly below the Board Chair’s.
