Certificate
A certificate offers a shorter course of study than a degree.
Certificates can serve as steppingstones to a degree. A certificate
typically requires at least 12 semester credits of coursework.
With program faculty approval, credits completed in a certificate
program may be used in a degree program.
学历证书所要求得学习时间比获得学位证书的时间短。学历证书可以作为获得学位的一块垫脚石。一个学历证书通常要求至少12个学分的课程学习。经过制定培养计划的教职人员的同意，在获得学历证书时完成的学分可以用于获取学位的培养计划。
Distance education
Distance Education is instructional delivery that does not
constrain the student to be physically present in the same
location as the instructor. Historically, distance education
meant correspondence study. Today, audio, video, and computer
technologies are more common delivery modes.
远程教育是授课的一种方式，它不要求学生亲临教师授课地点。从发展历史而言，远程教育意味着函授学习。现在，音频、视频和计算机技术在这一授课模式中更加普遍。
Bachelor's degree
Studying 4 years at a college or university, known as "undergraduate"
education, will generally lead to the Bachelor's Degree.
在大学学习4年，通称为"本科教育"，一般会授予学士学位。
Master's degree
This is the degree a student gets after he studies beyond
the 4 years of college. The MBA., or Master of Business Administration,
is an extremely popular degree that usually takes two years.
Some Master's programs, such as journalism, only take one
year. In such fields as history and philosophy, these degrees
are considered stepping-stones toward a doctorate (Ph.D.).
这是学生经过大学四年毕业后再学习获得的学位。MBA, 即工商管理硕士极受欢迎，通常需要两年时间。有些硕士培养计划，如新闻，只需一年。在诸如历史、哲学一类专业领域，硕士学位通常被认为是获得博士学位的一个步骤而已。
Financial aid, disability service
and vocational rehabilitation
In the USA there are a number of state and federal laws that
protect the equal rights of handicapped and disabled persons
to education, employment, housing, etc. For example, classrooms
and offices must be accessible to people with wheelchairs
or crutches, so most of them have special ramps and elevators
for this purpose.
在美国，有许多州、联邦法律保护残疾人受教育、就业和住房等的平等权利。如，教室、办公室必须是坐轮椅和支拐杖的人士能够进入的场所，所以大多数教室、办公室有适于这一用途的特别的匝道和电梯。
