Answer: (A)

A master's degree is a postgraduate credential that comes after a bachelor's degree and provides specialized, advanced knowledge in a specific field. It’s designed to deepen expertise beyond undergraduate study and to prepare you for higher-level professional roles or research opportunities. Programs typically run one to two years of full-time study and can be coursework-focused or research-based with a thesis. This differs from a bachelor’s degree, which is undergraduate; an associate’s degree, which is shorter and often non-bachelor’s; and a doctorate, which is a higher level focused on original research or advanced professional practice.
