Social:Postbaccalaureate program
Postbaccalaureate programs are reserved for students who are working toward a second entry degree. These programs are offered for those who already have a first undergraduate degree.[1] Post Baccalaureate programs are not considered traditional graduate education, but their standing is more advanced than a bachelor's degree.[2] Some of these programs are offered under the umbrella of continuing education and leads to a graduate degree. Programs like post-degree diploma,[3] graduate diploma, graduate certificates or a pre-medical to a master's degree in a field such as biomedical or health sciences may come under the range of post-baccalaureate programs. In addition, students who wish to pursue a master's degree in a field other than their BS/BA degree, may be admitted to a college or university individualized or preset postbaccalaureate program to earn the necessary entry credits in their new chosen area/subject.[4] These courses of study are considered an equivalent blend of foundation year graduate/professional school studies and final year of the specific bachelor's program. This also provides opportunity to those who prepare for changing careers and profession or as a supportive for those interested in continuing education to familiarize with new modalities in their particular fields. The usual length of the programs is 8 months to 1 year and the advanced thesis/project route grad-entry program is for 2 years.
