Bachelor's degree
(Redirected from Bachelor's Degree)
Bachelor's Degree is an academic degree awarded by universities and colleges upon completion of a course of study lasting three to seven years. The term "bachelor" in the 12th century referred to a knight bachelor, who was too young or poor to gather vassals under his own banner. By the end of the 13th century, it was also used by junior members of guilds or universities.
History
The history of the bachelor's degree dates back to the medieval universities of Europe in the 11th century. The term "degree" comes from the Latin de gradus, meaning "a step". The first step was the Bachelor of Arts degree, followed by the Master of Arts degree, and finally the Doctor of Philosophy degree.
