When I got my Masters degree a few years ago, I digged out mine & Dh’s undergrad degrees & framed them all at the same time. They are hanging in my home office; you’d have to walk in and do a 180 to see them but they’re hanging there nonetheless; didn’t realize it was considered so gauche to display them And a lot of my fellow librarians have their MLS degree hanging in their office.

Going back to the OP’s question: For future display purposed, I’d say go with a black frame and the matting perhaps matching the school colors although I don’t think that’s necessary. UT offered a framing set with frame & mat that they set info about before graduation (and that diploma was an odd size; they’re not all standard sized diplomas.) I went to Michael’s/ Joanne’s since they always have the custom framing coupons but even with that, they wanted a couple of hundred dollars. I am inherently cheap, so I poked around in the frame dept. and picked out 3 nice frames & accompanying mats for about $100 total.
