Second, the bachelor's degree belongs to post undergraduate education at the level. It is the same way to cultivate high-level professionals as to train graduate students. But a second bachelor's degree may become history.
Today, the Academic Degrees Committee of the State Council issued the administrative measures for the authorization and award of bachelor's degrees.
The Measures stipulate that from this month, degree awarding units in China will no longer recruit second bachelor's degree students, and relevant colleges and universities can set up minor bachelor's degrees, double bachelor's degrees and joint bachelor's degrees. For those who have obtained more than one bachelor's degree, only one certificate will be issued, and the information of various degrees will be indicated on the certificate.
Two questions
So what is a second degree?
The length of study for the second bachelor's degree is generally 2 years. After studying for the second bachelor's degree, you can obtain the ordinary undergraduate diploma and degree certificate issued by the University.
From public information, reading a second bachelor's degree is no less than postgraduate entrance examination, and the treatment is equivalent to graduate students.
Since 2005, in the case of a large number of graduate students producing more than one million, the trend of applying for the second bachelor's degree has slowed down. For example, Wuhan University cancelled the enrollment of the second bachelor's degree due to the small number of applicants for a major in 2013. According to the new regulations issued by the general office of the State Council on January 28, 2014, the approval of the Ministry of education for the second bachelor's degree is cancelled, and the university only needs to file with the Ministry of education to open the second bachelor's degree.
What is the difference between a double degree and a second degree?
Double degree is the spontaneous behavior of the University. It is obtained in the University. It is not recognized by the education department and the employer. It is only for reference. The academic level is still undergraduate. The graduation certificate is designed and issued by the school itself.
Minor majors, even if two certificates are issued, are only equivalent to double degrees; Without the approval of the education department, there are also many mixed certificates. Students need to be careful.
Why is the second degree of 'xiangbobo' cancelled now?
On the one hand, with the popularization of graduate education, the development of the second bachelor's degree has fallen into a 'chicken rib', and its advantage in the talent market is no longer, or even cold. Some graduates regard the second bachelor's degree as a stepping stone and think that '1 + 1' is greater than 2, but for some employers, '1 + 1' is less than 2. " Today, when master's degrees are full, even having two undergraduate degrees is not as attractive as a master's degree. "
On the other hand, the chaos of the second bachelor's degree has also changed the flavor of this paper certificate, which originally contains a lot of gold. The media once exposed that some universities have opened the second bachelor's degree. As long as they have the undergraduate diploma and degree certificate of any university, they can apply, and finally get the degree certificate of the University.
Netizen comments
Many netizens and many people don't know what a second bachelor's degree is:
'means only one degree? There will be no double degrees in the future? "
Someone replied: this news just said that you would not enroll a second bachelor's degree, which has nothing to do with your minor double degrees. It won't harm your interests. Repair it when it's time.
Others say things through personal experience:
"It's been a year since I graduated from college. For my sophomore's double degree, others can go to play at night and on weekends, while students who take the double degree have to go to class at night and on weekends, and they also have to write papers and defend after graduation. God knows how I got here during the exam week. I don't know whether I recognize it or not after graduation. At least I really learned knowledge and broadened my knowledge, Those who can take a double degree and stick to it in the end are excellent. "
