A bachelor's degree (from Middle Latin baccalaureus) or baccalaureate (from Modern Latin baccalaureatus) is an undergraduate academic degree awarded by colleges and universities upon completion of a course of study lasting three to seven years (depending on institution and academic discipline).



Historically, there were three standards for academic qualification:

Bachelor, Master and Doctor

Bacheler (pronounced bash) was firstly the basic qualification for a knight. (The term knight bachelor is also used.) This was a young man who had learned how to bash people and had other attributes (mainly money and family) so that he did not have to work. However, a certain standard of use of arms had been achieved for him to receive this recognition. He had to do more in order to be a full knight with his own standard.

As not all young men of good families wanted to spend their time with swords, it began to be used for a man qualified in other areas, such as a Bachelor of Law, or just one of an age and income to be worth marrying.

The early versions of universities worked in Latin, so converted the English word to an invented Latin one of baccalaurus, which later led to the baccalaureate. (This is also basically a sort of Latin joke, referring to the laurel crown given to a winner.)

A higher level of proficiency was then required for someone to be pronounced a Master. Further achievements allowed some men to be considered sufficiently knowledgeable to be academic teachers, for which the Latin word Doctor (meaning teacher) was applied. This usually meant he had written a book on the subject.

Thus universities based on the Western Europe model have degrees of bachelor, master and doctor.


Have a great day

Basically, bachelor is the first level of adulthood in terms of becoming in man, so at this stage it is assumed that you have no experience of many things, so it is a stage of learning. This is what first degree stands for.

However, second degree is called masters and it's a stage of perfection. You are a master in a game or in life when you have gained a lot of experience.

Reason why they call the first bachelor is obviously becos back then more men are into education than women who were majorly known to take care of the home.

Oduok:

lolz... This guy humbly funny. You now have two comments to correct.

pepigeorge:


bach·e·lor
ˈbaCH(ə)lər/
noun
1.
a man who is not and has never been married.
"Mark is a confirmed bachelor"
2.
a person who holds an undergraduate degree from a university or college (only in titles or set expressions).
"he graduated with a bachelor's degree in philosophy"

I don't understand ur hypothesis....Bachelor is the early stage of adulthood.... Where did u learn that? I think u should know the meaning of words from the dictionary......
Sometimes if u have no ideal, just read and don't comment... Ur understanding of bachelor as the early stage of adulthood is totally wrong and fallacious.

AfizDeMedici:
The reason for that name springs forth from midieval times largely because those who go into apprenticeships were male. The levels of achievement were in those times classed in levels known as degrees. In ancient times, what prevailed were charters and guild which were called universities. Hence you have University of Smiths, University of Tailors, etc. The first degree which is issue to those who have started learning the trade and gained some knowledge, the second degree is for those who have produced a master work that set them apart as fit to practise, they are also termed artisans. The third
degree are for those who are authorities in their chosen field and can instruct others in that field. Professors only exceed doctors just by the factor of time spent in a field. (Inspired by Adams smith's Wealth of Nations and Doctors of the Church). P.s- Get my book titled 'Making the most of your twenties' bishops10

Fit2Rule:

Because bachelors have multiple women with different specifications. That's y they bombard us with multiple course units from different disciplines (some of which are irrelevant) during the B degree.
