No diploma with the word “studies” on it is worth the paper it’s printed on.

Exactly. As a general rule, adding "studies" to the end of a program indicates that it does not fulfill the degree requirements of whatever department it is under - or of the university.

We see the same thing on the ecclesiastical side - "Theological Studies" does not fulfill degree requirements of the Theology department of most schools . . . lot of "liturgists" running around with such degrees.
