An academic degree is a qualification students get after getting a higher education and I'm only 6 months from mine
Congratulations! I have an Associates degree! What is your field of study?
Thanks, an AA in Healthcare Administration. The most common degree is bachelor's degree but not sure I'm going to keep going
Right! Well I guess it depends if you can get a good job with an AA. I know many who have gotten Bachelor's and Master's degrees.
From my research I should! I find it interesting the different degrees evolved around the medieval university times
Wow! Yes, and there are so many of them! My guess is there are more university and colleges presently today than there ever was!
I suppose that's a good thing. It would be harder in other countries though. Only in the U.S. and U.K. do associate's degrees exist. Other countries start with higher degrees
I didn't know that! I wonder how long associate's degrees have been around?
I'm not sure about them in particular. There was a degree starting in the 8th century that was given called an ijazah.
Neat! ijazah? Do you know what people did with this degree?
