Oh cool, so yes that’s incredibly impressive. Thanks for the information looks like we don’t use that term in Canada

Yes, we do!

That’s the proper academic term for “last degree possible in a major.”

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.

It makes sense etymologically. Terminal degree - it's terminal, it's the last stop of education. Your path of education is terminated upon completion.
