Each degree can be taken on either of the two universities, but only one of them will offer the distinguished degree. I think they have more or less 50/50. It takes a little more skills etc to get accepted for the distinguished one, but if you don't get in, you can switch university later. I think it is the final term that counts. When you sign up you will see all that university's degrees, and those being distinguished are marked in some way (outlined, I think).
Work on the skills related to the degree you want to take. Then apply to that degree. If you have those skills around level 5 (i'm not sure if 3 or 4 will also do it...) the university will accept you in the relevant distinguished degrees.
@Simmerville I didn't know you could switch to a distinguished degree part way through! This changes things...
You basically switch University. I did i only once, but I don't see why it should not be possible for all degrees - if your student do qualify (might need to read up on skills on top of following classes). Just keep in mind that the student might need to switch dorm as well...

You probably need to apply for University again after you've gained the skills for the distinguished degree you want. I don't think it will unlock automatically.

I think I switched between terms. I always choose to not move on to next term immediately, because I "pause" my dorm while playing a rotation. When I get back to them they apply for scholarships and sign up again, but they are already in the system. Perhaps it was possible because I took a break lasting nearly a full calendar year?
PS: These details might have changed since then, I did it shortly after release, might have been patched to work differently. I'll play the dorm again this weekend, so I'll double check
