"'A bachelor's degree is called a bachelor's degree because it won't get you paid enough money to be able to afford to get married' -- Nick Wilson", but seriously:\n\n"The college degree is called a "Bachelor's" degree after the original meaning of bachelor, which was a young apprentice. Since the Bachelor's is the first degree issued, coming before a Master's or Doctor's degree, that first degree became known as a Bachelor's degree."

Honorary anything’s are given to someone who has done something exceptional in a field of study. For example someone who comes up with the theory of extinction that becomes a universally accepted concept will get plenty of honorary degrees.\nRegardless they are rarely ever given until you are the leader of you industry or the leader in your field, and then only very rarely.\nG

The 'bachelor of science' degree actually started in England at the University of London.\n\n"English-speaking world\nToday, the most common undergraduate degrees given are the Bachelor of Arts (Artium Baccalaureus) and the Bachelor of Science (Scientiæ Baccalaureus). Originally, in the universities of Oxford and Cambridge all undergraduate degrees were in the Faculty of Arts, hence the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Since the late 19th century, most universities in the English-speaking world have followed the practice of the University of London in dividing undergraduate degree subjects into the two broad categories of arts and sciences, awarding the degree of Bachelor of Science to students of the latter category of subjects."\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bachelor%27s_degree#BA.2C_AB.2C_BS.2C_BSc.2C_SB.2C_ScB

honours is 3 years.it specializez in one subject and related elective subjects connected with it.and masters focuses on a perticular area of that subject. for example... in english  honours you will learn about english and different subjects which are related with it. but in masters you will learn about a perticular area of english.in honours you hav a general coverage of a subject. but in masters you will specialize in only one perticular field of that subject.

Either - both degrees are comparible to the UK bachelors (honours) degree, which is what you want.\n\nPolish degrees tend to be four years long, whereas Irish degrees tend to last 3 years.\n\nIf you are going to spend 3-4 years in one of these places, I'd recommend doing some research into the locations of the universities, cost of living, tuition fees, scholarships, etc.  If English is your first language, at least in Ireland you won't need to learn a new language.  Though this might not be a concern.  \n\nDon't go to India as a previous reply stated - their bachelors degrees are equivalent to a british ordinary degree (eg the grade you get here if you don't get a third class degree!).

Could be the old designation of "Master's in Science, Nursing" degree. To get a degree in nursing, one used to have to have a science degree first. Now a days, nursing is finally getting the respect it has long deserved, so degrees reflect the actual course of study. BN for example, used to be, BScN (Bachelor of Science, Nursing,) but now is strictly Bachelor of Nursing. Don't know the context you saw the honorific so this is just a guess.

An Associate degree is a two year degree.  Some jobs only require this type of degree like LPN or medical assistant, some management positions etc.\n\nBS and BA are Bachelor's degrees, these are a four year degree. A BS stands for Bachelor of Science degree and BS stands for Bachelor of Arts Degree.  Although the titles are a bit different the only real difference between a BA and a BS is that a BA requires a foriegn language and BS doesn't.\n\nA Master's Degree is after the Bachelors. You can not pursue a Master's degree without a Bachelors.  Usually the Masters takes an additional two years of school past the four for a Bachelors and the classes are often offered in the evenings and part time since most people get a full time job with their Bachelor's and take their Master's courses around their schedule.\nA Phd is a Doctorate.  This is as high as you can go.  You have to have a Master's to pursue a Phd.  Most people take up to ten to twelve years to get their Phd degrees and in order to be awarded a Phd, the student must submit a "thesis" which is usually a very long, detailed report on the subject in which they are pursuing their degree.  Everyone that I know that has written a thesis has taken several years to complete it even though they were completely finished with their classes.

Well, in chemistry, the difference between a BA and a BS is math courses....the BS has more.  Probably something similar in Business admin.

Understand one thing about a degree, employeers are not really concerned about the field of study, unless it is education, nursing, or social services field.  To most employeers the degree simple identifies that you are able and willing to start and finish something, which says a lot in todays society, so go get a job doing something that you enjoy.  Go into law enforcment, become a teacher with a lateral entry possition.  Have fun and make money
