А за ово бачелор никад нисам чула, шта то значи?
Хм, изгледа да сам и ја погрешила. Ево шта каже у
речнику:
A person who has completed the undergraduate curriculum of a college or university and holds a bachelor's degree.
Дакле, изгледа да се ради о неком најнижем ступњу дипломатуре. Кад се скролује мало ниже, онда се може наћи и ово:
Bach"e*lor\ (b[a^]ch"[-e]*l[~e]r), n. [OF. bacheler young man, F. bachelier (cf.Pr. bacalar, Sp. bachiller, Pg. bacharel, It. baccalare), LL. baccalarius the tenant of a kind of farm called baccalaria, a soldier not old or rich enough to lead his retainers into battle with a banner, a person of an inferior academical degree aspiring to a doctorate. In the latter sense, it was afterward changed to baccalaureus. See Baccalaureate, n.]
Даље, бакалауреат се дефинише на следећи начин:
1625, "university degree of a bachelor," from M.L. baccalaureus "student with the first degree," altered by a play on words with bacca lauri "laurel berry" (laurels being awarded for academic success). The M.L. word perhaps ultimately is derived from L. baculum "staff" (see bacillus), which the young student might carry, but it is more likely just a Latinization of bachelor (q.v.) in its academic sense. In modern U.S. usage, the word usually is short for baccalaureate-sermon (1864), a religious farewell address to the graduating class.
an academic degree conferred on someone who has successfully completed undergraduate studies [syn: bachelor's degree]
Болд је мој. Према свему овоме, рекла бих да су бакалареат и бачелор једно те исто....
