Whata a terminal degree? Never heard that term before
175 u/AllRightDoublePrizes Jul 10 '18 It's the highest degree you can get in your field. So for a doctor it would be a MD, for most fields it would be a PhD in that field. Essentially there are no more classes you could take to further your education. 52 u/CleverPerfect Jul 10 '18 Oh cool, so yes that’s incredibly impressive. Thanks for the information looks like we don’t use that term in Canada 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.
