Completion of a minor appears on the diploma and official transcript. A student must petition a department to enter a minor it offers. To have a minor officially recorded on the transcript and diploma, the student must petition the department or office administering the minor for admission to the minor.

You have a Bachelor of Arts with a major in Political Science. So, your diploma will say Bachelor of Arts, because that is the degree that the school has the authority to confer. Your major is not part of your degree title and so is not included.

A student's minor does not usually appear on their diploma. Instead, the diploma lists the major and the date the graduate earned their degree. That said, college transcripts do list minors.

Most undergraduates receive their diplomas 4-6 weeks after the official graduation date for the term and most graduates receive their diplomas 8-10 weeks after the official graduation date.

The reason why college diplomas take a long time to receive is that there's more going on behind the scenes besides someone signing a piece of paper. Colleges have to follow certain guidelines and steps to determine that a degree is awarded to a student.

Is a Minor a Degree? A minor is not a degree. It's a concentration that you get in addition to your primary field of study, known as your major. Although minors can often round out your degree and provide depth and context to your education, they are not considered to be stand-alone degrees or certifications.

The reason that most colleges do not list your major on your diploma is simply because it is technically incorrect to do so. Colleges are accredited to award generic bachleors degrees (B.A. or B.S.) only. That is as far as the regional accreditation body's concern goes.
