Is a degree considered professional degree?

Not all degrees are considered professional degrees. A professional degree is a postgraduate degree that qualifies the graduate for professional practice in a specific field. Examples include:

* Law (JD)

* Medicine (MD, DO)

* Dentistry (DDS, DMD)

* Engineering (various masters and doctorates)

* Architecture (M.Arch)

* Business Administration (MBA)

A bachelor's degree, while important for many careers, is generally *not* considered a professional degree. Even some master's degrees are not professional degrees if they are not explicitly designed to qualify someone for a specific profession. The key distinction is that professional degrees usually require extensive practical training and licensing/certification to practice.
