What is up with Fullerton College? The university I went to it would be impossible to graduate with more than 1 degree in 3 years, and Fullerton is giving a kid 5 degrees for 3 years at college?
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.
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.
My siblings in Satan, please don’t give in to despair. This youngster has had a lot of support from his teachers, parents, community etc which has allowed him to achieve at this level. He worked hard and accomplished something amazing which deserves to be celebrated. But guess what? You have your own journey in life and maybe you don’t have the same level of resources he has, and that’s okay, you can still do and accomplish amazing things. Compare yourself to who you were yesterday and take it one step at a time. You’ve got this ✨🤗

Yeah, well, good luck getting a job with those degrees.
He can do “science”!
I get that sometimes you get these unimaginably intelligent child prodigies, but how is it possible to do five degrees at once? Does “degree” mean something different in America? Did he not have to attend 30 hours of lectures every day? Is this a real university?
It’s an associate’s and not a bachelor’s is what everyone is missing. He crammed 5 2-year degrees into 3 years, not an impossible 5 4-year degrees into 3 years. Especially maxed out at 11 credits a semester

5 degree? That’s cold!
My dude looks like he hasn’t slept since convocation.
He carries all his books in the bags under his eyes.
Hope he goes back to normal school for a while to make some friends and get laid
He just needs to find Sherry Nugil.

Good job! 🤯 😀 👍
Thanks for making me depressed … ugh
I have crippling debt before i was 13! She would be the worst to work with. 5 degrees and the life experience expose as a zoo animal. She will have to wait to be 18 before she can get any real job, and she’ll probably forget everything by then.
