Social Sciences - Education / Pedagogy / diploma
Spanish term or phrase: TITULO DE: BACHILLER MENCION CIENCIAS
This is a line on the diploma which I am translating as;

CERTIFICATE OF: GRADUATION WITH A SCIENCE MAJOR

I considered Science major graduate, but that is difficult to fit with the 'Cert. of:'
Is there a simpler way to put this that I am just not seeing? This just seems awfully wordy. Any help is much appreciated

In many Latin American countries there are high school degrees either in sciences or in humanities. When you study sciences, you have to take chemistry, physics and biology; when yuo study humanities, you have to take philosophy, Latin and French

Notes to answerer
Asker: This is one I came up with as well, but the dictionary definition specifies that 'bachelor' is a post secondary title and bacheller is a 'high school graduate" Thanks for your input.

neutral  Heidi C: cuidado, hay lugares donde el "bachiller" es título universitario, por ejemplo en Puerto Rico el primer grado universitario es un bachillerato (aunque en México el bachillerato es high school). Hay que saber de dónde es el texto original. :)

  -> Eso lo sé, pero nunca he escuchado un título universitario en ciencias, mientras que ciencias es una opción muy difundida de los bachilleratos latinoamericanos
agree  Christian [email protected]: That's the degree I received at my HIGH SCHOOL in Venezuela.
