The reason most respectable colleges don't list majors on diplomas...

It seems that the OP is not 100% accurate.

Those are just programs that are available at those colleges. They are not part of the degree title though. That Yale list, for example, is just a list of majors that you can get within a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree program.

Still, your Yale diploma will just say Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science, not Bachelor of Arts/Science in Whatever you Pick From That List to Study.

For example, if you look here:

Connecticut Department of Higher Education Comprehensive Program Search Results

You will see Alburt Magnus College in the first two positions. Both say "Art" under "Program Name" but if you look under "Degree" one says "BFA" and the other just says "BA." So while completing both majors would give you a degree with a major in art, only the BFA would say "Bachelor of Fine Arts" on your diploma, because it is a named degree which signifies that it is more than just intensive study withing a given subject under the umbrella of a general liberal arts degree. The Bachelor of Arts with a major in Art, on the other hand, would just say "Bachelor of Arts" on the diploma because Art, the major, is not part of the degree title for the less professional degree.
