The Higher Education System in USAGraduate Education
Graduate education is a specialized, self-directed learning experience leading to a professional or advanced degree. The two graduate degrees of-fered in the U.S. are the master’s degree and the doctoral degree.
Master’s Degrees: Master’s degrees o�er addi-tional education or training in a specialized area well beyond the bachelor’s degree. Generally, one to two years of full-time academic study is re-quired to earn a master’s degree. Doctoral Degrees: The doctoral degree is de-signed to train research scholars and signi�es the completion of rigorous education and training in a speci�c discipline. The PhD, or Doctor of Phi-losophy, is the highest and most common degree awarded in academic disciplines.
