To sign 'degree,' start with both hands in 'F' handshapes, where your index fingers and thumbs touch to form circles and your other fingers are extended. Bring your hands together in front of your chest so that the circles of your 'F' hands are touching. Then, pull your hands apart horizontally to the sides, moving them a few inches outward.
Sign 'college' and then use the 'F' handshape motion for 'degree' to show you have earned your diploma. Be sure to add an excited facial expression to convey your accomplishment.
Sign 'study' and 'degree', then sign 'what' while furrowing your eyebrows. Furrowed eyebrows are essential here to indicate that you are asking a WH-question.
Point to the person to establish the subject, sign 'have', and then sign 'science' followed by 'degree'. Keep your movements clear and steady.
