As an undergrad, I did all the coursework and thesis writing required for a BS in Physics and a BA in Anthropology, but my college had a policy of not granting dual degrees. For no reason I can remember, I chose the BA in Anthropology. Since I ended up as a programmer, this decision was almost meaningless, except for one job where our billable rate was dependent on our degree and there was a $15 an hour difference between a BA and a BS. This difference translated into how much I was paid, although after stewing over this for a month I threatened to quit and they upped my salary. The joke was on them anyway: it was College Physics and not University Physics!
