According to that site there is actually a difference. My university has two campuses and each offers one of each. The above is not my university and I don't know if those definitions applies to my university or are universal.
At the end they both say
From the description it seems like there is more work for a double major and they seem to give the same feeling of pride.
Now here is my question, what is the significance of having one degree labelled on a transcript as opposed to a diploma? Will I get a job in one but not the other just because one isn't on a transcript/diploma?

the student will choose which degree designation will appear on the transcript and diploma.
Students completing a combined major receive one degree and one diploma. The combined major and home college will appear on the transcript and diploma. When the two components of the combined major individually offer different degree designations, the degree designation that will appear on the transcript and diploma will be designated during the approval process.
