.... tell me why I'm wrong.
Looks like they printed it out on a laserjet, and affixed a gold seal.
I was kind of hoping for something that didn't fit in an office printer, and I dunno, raised lettering or something. What did we pay in graduation fees?
I'm a little underwhelmed by their efforts. Should I not be?

For sure it could use a little bling. My AOS culinary degree has a lot of raised text and a gold seal- my TESU degrees have a gold stamp (?) but my MS is huge lol, however, nothing special in terms of text or embossing, and that was far and away my most expensive degree.
I think if you put it in a nice frame (matted) it will look a lot better

To me, it's more disappointing that it does not show the AOS.

That Patten sample seems kind of ugly to me. I prefer TESU's.
Could be better, but I'm fine with TESU's. Especially if framed well, to add color.

Yeah, I read that it wouldn't mention the AOS, but it's still disappointing. I'm planning on framing mine, which should help a bit.

Maybe they're trying to motivate you to get that Masters degree (from another school), so you can finally have a fancy diploma!

Here is someone who agrees with you about TESU's diplomas. https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...#pid254650

meh
guess I am kind of a certificate snob. TESU's just isn't.... wall worthy. It's an area they could have invested a little more time into, as it is, besides me and the alumni, the face of the school.
I realize this will devolve into a substance over style discussion, but, is that what you'd want your doctors or engineers' diploma to look like? I can print the exact same thing out at home....
