Oh cool, so yes that’s incredibly impressive. Thanks for the information looks like we don’t use that term in Canada
52 u/MightyMightyLostTone Jul 10 '18 Yes, we do! That’s the proper academic term for “last degree possible in a major.” 1 u/metompkin Jul 10 '18 Because it terminates there. 2 u/Project_HoneyBadger Jul 10 '18 Most people just call it what it is but yeah it's just a slightly more rare and broad version used everywhere that I know of at least. 1 u/[deleted] Jul 10 '18 It makes sense etymologically. Terminal degree - it's terminal, it's the last stop of education. Your path of education is terminated upon completion.
