What do the different degrees in university mean?

355 views

I’ve been trying to find out what it all means, like there’s Bachelor’s degree, Doctorate, Bachelor of Design and Master of Education. But what do they mean? Is a bachelor’s degree the lowest degree you can get and master’s is the highest or do different courses have different names for their degrees?

In some professional fields, there are specialized Bachelor’s degrees that indicate a heavier-than-usual focus on the field of concentration. For example, some colleges train music students with a Bachelor of Arts program, and some offer a Bachelor of Music program. The “B.Mus.” designation means that the program meets standards similar to those of a music conservatory education, and has been reviewed and approved (every few years) by a panel of educators from other schools offering the same type of degree.

Similarly there are programs leading to degrees such as B. Arch. (architecture) and B.F.A. (fine arts).
