{{short description|Undergraduate academic degree}} | |||
A '''bachelor's degree''' (from [[Middle Latin]] ''baccalaureus'') or '''baccalaureate''' (from [[New Latin|Modern Latin]] ''baccalaureatus'') is an [[Undergraduate degree|undergraduate]] [[academic degree]] awarded by colleges and universities upon completion of a course of study lasting three to six years (depending on institution and [[academic discipline]]). The two most common bachelor's degrees are the [[Bachelor of Arts]] (BA) and the [[Bachelor of Science]] (BS or BSc). In some institutions and educational systems, certain bachelor's degrees can only be taken as [[Graduate school|graduate]] or [[postgraduate education]]s after a first degree has been completed, although more commonly the successful completion of a bachelor's degree is a prerequisite for further courses such as a [[Master's degree|master's]] or a [[doctorate]]. | A '''bachelor's degree''' (from [[Middle Latin]] ''baccalaureus'') or '''baccalaureate''' (from [[New Latin|Modern Latin]] ''baccalaureatus'') is an [[Undergraduate degree|undergraduate]] [[academic degree]] awarded by colleges and universities upon completion of a course of study lasting three to six years (depending on institution and [[academic discipline]]).
