The student may also elect to enroll in a minor to supplement the major. Alternatively, the student may seek to enroll in multiple majors within the same type of baccalaureate degree or to enroll in a simultaneous degree program.

The term baccalaureate, in the sense of a degree could refer to (most often) a Bachelor's degree.

It could also refer to International Baccalaureate, which is a concise group of three educational programmes, which are internationally recognised, aimed at students aged 3 right up to 19. There is also the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, which is the oldest of these three programmes, intended for students aged 15-19.
