dormitories. Others may live in «fraternity» or «sorority» houses. These
are clubs of men or women students. They choose their members
carefully. Some students prefer to live off campus. They try to find
rooms or apartments near the campus.
A college diploma is called a degree. There are three degrees that
students can earn. The first four years of college gives an undergraduate
degree. Students in undergraduate school study lots of subjects. They
do not choose their most important subject until the end of
undergraduate school. They earn credits for the classes they complete.
They must have a certain number of credits in their most important
subject and some credits in other subjects, too. Then they get a
Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree.
With a BA degree, college students can go on to graduate school.
After two or three years, they can get a Master of Arts (MA)
degree. They take only subjects that lead to the MA. These are subjects
that will be important for their later work. Graduate school can
prepare students to become teachers or lawyers, for example. With
a Master of Science degree (MSc), they can become scientists. They
can prepare for work in business with a Master of Business
Administration degree (MBA). Students can go on in graduate school
to get a Doctor of Philosophy degree (PhD). That is the highest
degree university students can get. Most university teachers must
have a PhD.
In the U.S., many students stay on at college to get a master’s
degree, because a bachelor’s degree is often not enough to get the
job they want. It can take a long time, and a lot of money. It can take
at least ten years to become a lawyer, and five or six years to become
a teacher. Many students are in their mid or late twenties when they
finally start work.
