| Doctorate Degree |
A doctorate degree is
the highest degree awarded to a person by a college or university.
In the United States, a
student who graduates after four years of study in a college or university
normally receives a “bachelor’s degree” and usually specializes in a field of
study called his major subject.
Some students begin work
in their new professions after earning a bachelor’s degree.
Many do not stop their
studies at this point, but go on for graduate studies that lead to a highest
master’s degree, and then to a doctor’s degree to practice in special
professions such as medicine, dentistry, law, or the field of education.
Degrees are awarded
(conferred) at a ceremony called “commencement” – a term that means the
beginning of a career outside academic surroundings. A person on whom a
college or university has conferred the doctorate is properly addressed as
Doctor (abbreviated “Dr.”).–Dick Rogers
