Many people are not sure about the difference between a certificate and a degree. Let’s learn more about these two words.
Certificate comes from the Latin word “certificatum,” which means “a document testifying something has been done.”
Degree comes from the Latin word “gradus,” which means “a step or stage in a process.”
A certificate is a paper you get when you finish a short course. It shows you have learned a special skill.
A degree is a paper you get when you finish a long course at a college or university. It shows you have learned a lot about a subject.
Think of Certificate for Course. Certificates are for short courses. Think of Degree for Deep. Degrees are for deep study over a long time.
A certificate is for short courses, and a degree is for long courses at a college or university. Remember: Certificate for Course, and Degree for Deep study.
