THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO
A.
Concentra tion progra ms or majors, leading to Bachelor of Arts

1890, C hicago's 203-acre campus on the s hores of Lake M ichigan has
been ho me to 73 Nobel laure ates, the larges t number affiliated with
any American univers ity. The Univers ity of C hicago scholars were

COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY DEGREES
AMERICAN TEACHERS CAN HAVE
A.
At the doctoral level there are professional degrees and research degrees.
The most common professional degrees are the MD for medicine and the JD for
law.
The purpose of a doctoral degree program is to train research scholars in a
particular field. The doctoral degree typically involves both course work and a
major research project. It usually takes four to six years of full-time study to
complete a Ph.D. Admission into a doctoral program is considered after a
candidate has passed a set of examinations and the research project has been
approved.
B.
The bachelor's degree typically takes four years to complete, though some
students take slightly less time to finish, while others may take longer. The
associate degree usually takes two years to complete. Associate degree programs
may be "terminal" programs, which lead into specific careers upon graduation, or
"transfer" programs, which correspond to the first two years of a bachelor's
degree and lend to be more liberal arts based, tinder the latter option you could
then transfer into the third year of a four-year bachelor's degree program.
Associate degree programs are offered at two-year colleges known as junior or
community colleges, four-year colleges and universities offer bachelor's degree
programs, with a small number also offering associate degree programs.
One of the most attractive features of the bachelor's degree program in the
United States is that it is highly flexible. You can usually choose from a wide
variety of courses and create your own unique program of study. The degree is
awarded after you complete a specified number of credits, which are usually
completed in four years of lull time study. The first year is called the freshman
year; the second is called sophomore; the third, junior; and the fourth, senior.
You may read that students in the United States often take longer than four years
to complete their degrees. This may be because they change majors and need to
accumulate enough credits in the new major field to earn the degree. Or it may be
because they take less than a full-time course load per term for academic,
personal, or financial reasons. International students, however, cannot study part-
time and must maintain full-time status. Courses taken in the first two years are
known as lower division courses, and courses taken in the final two years are
called upper division courses. College catalogs usually assign a number to a
course, which indicates the level of study as follows: 100 – 199 Freshman
200 – 299 Sophomore
300 – 399 Junior
400 – 499 Senior

C.
There are two kinds of graduate degrees: professional degrees and research
degrees, and two levels: master's and doctoral. The professional master's degree
provides specific set of skills needed to practice a particular profession and
leading directly to employment. Professional master's degrees are offered in areas
such as business and public administration, social work, journalism, public
health, international relations, urban and regional planning, communications etc.
This type of degree consists of a year of required course work, forming the basic
training, followed by a second year of specialized, study within the field. Usually
these degrees do not include a thesis option or a language requirement, but they
may involve some type of internship or fieldwork.
The research master's MA (Master of Arts) or MS (Master of Science)
provides experience in research and scholarship. The research master's is usually
part of the progression to the doctorate. It is often based on a selection process by
which those who perform adequately may be awarded their master's but be
denied entry to the doctoral program. Some universities do not admit students in
(lie humanities and social sciences for a master’s degree, as they are only
interested in prospective doctoral students.
