Which degree is earned by completing undergraduate coursework and awarded in specific concentrations?

• A. Bachelor's Degree
• B. Associate Degree
• C. Master's Degree
• D. Academic Plan

Answer: (A)

Undergraduate study culminates in a Bachelor's Degree, earned after completing a structured set of courses and choosing a concentration within that field. This degree represents the standard undergraduate credential, combining general education requirements with specialized coursework in a chosen subject area. The idea of a concentration within the degree is what ties the credential to a particular field of study, such as biology, psychology, or engineering, while still being an undergraduate qualification. An Associate Degree is also an undergraduate credential but typically shorter and with a different scope; a Master’s Degree is a graduate-level credential earned after completing a bachelor’s degree; and an Academic Plan is not a degree at all, but a guide for coursework.
