An award by a college, university, or other postsecondary educational institution as official recognition for successful completion of a program of studies..<\/p>\n

\n

A title conferred on a student who has successfully completed a course of study; also an alternate term for diploma. The main kinds of college degrees are associate degree, bachelor\u2019s degree, master\u2019s degree, and doctoral degree. Degree requirements the number of courses in various areas of study that a student must complete to be eligible for a diploma or degree vary from school to school, but the James Madison High School Model Curriculum indicates what courses a typical student might have to complete in order to graduate.<\/p>\n

\n

A unit of measurement of temperature. The SI unit is in degrees Celsius (\u00b0C) based on 100 units between the freezing (ice) point of water and the boiling point of water. On the thermodynamic scale, the unit is the Kelvin (K), the same size as one degree Celsius, but with a starting point at absolute zero. Finally, in common use in the U.S. is the Fahrenheit degree (\u00b0F), a scale based on the ice point of water at 32 \u00b0F and boiling point at 212 \u00b0F.<\/p>\n
