A Professional Degree is an advanced educational qualification that prepares individuals for specific careers, often in fields such as law, medicine, or engineering. Unlike a traditional academic degree, which may focus on theoretical knowledge, a professional degree emphasizes practical skills and real-world applications. Graduates typically need to pass licensing exams to practice in their chosen profession, such as the Bar Exam for lawyers or the USMLE for doctors.
These degrees are usually offered by specialized institutions and can take several years to complete. Examples of professional degrees include the Juris Doctor (JD) for law, the Doctor of Medicine (MD) for physicians, and the Master of Business Administration (MBA) for business leaders.
