Use of the term "undergraduate"
editThe lead-in definition of bachelor's degree misleadingly calls it an undergraduate degree. As noted further down, in the US you normally must GRADUATE in order to get a bachelor's degree. Yes, in some countries it's an undergraduate degree, but not normally in the US. 2601:8C0:C201:16F0:755B:C986:44E8:D48B (talk) 08:42, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
- An undergraduate degree is one that is designed to be taken by people who have not previously graduated with a degree, in contrast to a graduate degree. There are a few examples of non-undergraduate bachelor's degree courses, but these are very uncommon. It is certainly normally the case for bachelor's degrees in the US that they are undergraduate degrees. Robminchin (talk) 21:18, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
Fix the map
editPlease change a color of Croatia (from green to blue): in this country, all undergraduate studies (bachelor of science or arts) last three years, not 4 years. 89.164.179.116 (talk) 13:25, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
Bachelor's degree vs Licenciate degree
editI have noticed that in this article they include all of South America. I think this is inappropriate since this region has another academic tradition in terms of titles. In most Latin American countries (maybe there are some exceptions, I don't know) the bachelor's degree is not used, but rather people obtains a licenciature degree. In the English Wikipedia there is already a specific page for this specific title: Licentiate (degree). In my opinion, a licenciate degree should not be confused with the bachelor's degree, since the firt one it is more of an intermediate degree between the bachelor's degree and a master's degree (although in Europe, from what I understand, it is literally an equivalent to a master's degree in some countries.) --Bibliotecatdj (talk) 18:18, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
This article is huge!
editWe have a description of almost every country's university system, is that really necessary? 2A02:8308:6012:CF00:4497:B5ED:D3CD:B6A7 (talk) 11:20, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
