He completed his Computer Science and Physics bachelor's degrees at University of Toronto in 2009
Karpathy’s own bio says he earned a single BSc with a double major in Computer Science and Physics, not two separate bachelor’s degrees.
Full reasoning
This sentence describes Karpathy as having multiple bachelor's degrees from the University of Toronto. His official academic website instead lists one degree: "2005-2009: University of Toronto: BSc Double major in Computer Science and Physics."
That distinction matters at the University of Toronto. The university's Faculty of Arts & Science explains that students graduate by completing combinations such as "Two Majors" within a single degree, while U of T separately defines a double degree as a different structure that leads to "the conferral of two undergraduate degrees."
So the sourced evidence supports that Karpathy had a single BSc with a double major, not separate bachelor's degrees in Computer Science and Physics.

Unlike a double major, a double degree leads to the conferral of two undergraduate degrees.
