What do you call it when someone has both degrees from the same college?

Is it double alum, dual alum or something else? I've heard it before but I just can't seem to recall. Thanks.

Lol, my undergrad advisor called it inbreeding.

Context matters here. If the 2 degrees are from HYPS schools or top 50-100 schools, then I would call it smart. If the 2 degrees are from the College of the Blue Middle Atlantic, then maybe it is not-so-smart.

All of mine are from Berkeley (BA, MA, Ph.D.). Great education and great value (I was there through the 90s).

Me too. Never heard this, despite being this.

At Notre Dame they were called "Double Domers".

I did this, because I was in a program that let me do my first year of masters concurrently with final year of bachelors. I saved lots of money. And it's a good school, not Blue Atlantic Ocean University.

Didn’t know there was a name for it, but I have my degrees from the same place. When asked to talk about my education, I just say I did bit undergrad and graduate work at X

I think it's weird there is even a question of this being a stigma. Particularly for Masters, there are a lot of schools that are offering a 5 year degree program where you come out with a BA and an MA (or BS and MS). That seems super-smart to me.

Similarly, a lot of PhD programs give you a Master's two years in. You can keep going, because you've already been accepted, or it's a good point to bail if you've discovered it's not for you.

"Domer" is in reference to the Golden Dome.

I just clicked on here to say Double Domer. I was at UVA for grad school, and the students who got undergraduate and graduate/professional degrees from UVA were sometimes called Double Hoos.

intellectually incestuous. I have a doctorate and it just shouldn't be done.

I totally get that for a doctorate, where there is usually a lot of overlap and connection between people who teach undergrad and grad school.

But I know at my university, the medical and law faculties were completely separate from the undergrad faculty. Do you still feel that way in that situation?

I've got both an undergrad and graduate degree from UVA. I call myself a Double Hoo.
