The division associated with this degree pursual for this student. A division is an administrative sub- unit of a school. Schools at Penn can be composed of one or more divisions. A division oversees students as they pursue degrees within that division.

Examples of Division code include CGS (College of General Studies), NUR (Nursing Undergraduate), GFP (School of Design Graduate)and GEX (Engineering and Applied Science Executive).

Divisions can be associated with more than one type of degree. For example, CGS grants BA and MLA degrees.

While students can pursue multiple degrees from the same division, students can only pursue one type of degree from the same division at the same time. For example, a student cannot pursue two masters degrees from GSE simultaneously.

Students can be matriculated into more than one division at the same time. Such students will have a value in thier Dual_Degree_Type in the DEGREE_TERM_ALL_V table.

Degree

A degree is an academic title pursued through a division of a school. For example, students can pursue a Bachelor of Arts degree through the division of The College of Arts and Sciences; students can pursue a PHD through the Graduate division of Arts and Sciences. Both divisions are within the same school, but the College does not grant PHDs and GAS does not grant BAs.

Students can pursue more than one degree at the same time. Such students will have a value in thier Dual_Degree_Type in the DEGREE_TERM_ALL_V table.
