Can two degrees be equivalent to a degree?

No, two degrees cannot be equivalent to *one* degree in the standard mathematical sense of degrees (as in angles or temperature). Two degrees is twice the measure of one degree.

However, there might be a colloquial or contextual interpretation. For example, two associate's degrees might be considered *equivalent* to a bachelor's degree in some situations (depending on the field and specific institutions' policies), even though they represent a different kind of educational attainment. But this is not a direct mathematical equivalence.
