Degree Types

Degree types are categories of academic qualifications earned through higher education. They include an associate’s degree (typically a two-year program), a bachelor’s degree (usually four years, like a standard college degree), a master’s degree (advanced study after a bachelor’s, often one or two years), and a doctoral or Ph.D. (the highest level, focusing on original research over several years). Each degree type signifies a different level of education and expertise, preparing individuals for specific careers or further study. The choice depends on career goals, industry requirements, and the depth of knowledge desired.
