Stands for the 3-types of education paths to pursue: University, Technical-Trade school, or College.
Each institution has its path, completion timeline, and career outcomes.
University: Joint Degree Students can earn a bachelor’s degree plus a graduate or professional degree in less time if combined. A student on this track may apply to a graduate program as an undergraduate and begin the graduate program in their fourth year of college.
Graduate Degree - Graduate degrees are advanced degrees pursued after earning a bachelor’s degree. Examples are a Master of Arts (MA) or Master of Science (MS). Students generally earn a master’s degree after two years of study. A doctoral degree (for example, a Ph.D.) requires at four or more years of study.
Technical-Trade: Certificate or Associate Degree - The two-year associate of arts (AA) or associate of science (AS). Some students who earn this degree transfer to a four-year bachelor’s program; others use it to go straight to work. Community colleges, career colleges, and some four-year colleges offer associate degrees.
College: Bachelor’s Degree - This degree requires completing a four-year college program. Most students earn a (BA) Bachelor of Arts or (BS) Bachelor of Science.
