bachelor's
First college diploma
Bachelor's is short for bachelor's degree, the undergraduate credential awarded after completing a four-year university program: She earned her bachelor's in biology.
The possessive form treats the degree as belonging to the bachelor—an old term for a junior scholar.
Often appears with the field of study: bachelor's in economics, bachelor's in nursing.
