Common abbreviations are AA (Associate of Arts), AS (Associate of Science), AAS (Associate of Applied Science; or in some cases, Associate of Arts and Sciences), AOS (Associate of Occupational Studies), ABA (Associate of Business Administration), AAT (Associate of Arts in Teaching), and AGS (Associate of General Studies).

| The Masters Degree is an academic degree usually awarded for completion of a postgraduate (or graduate) course of one to three years in duration. The Master of Arts (Magister Artium) and Master of Science (Magister Scientiæ) degrees are the basic degree types in most subjects, and may be either entirely course-based or entirely research-based, or (more typically) a mixture. Admission to a master's program normally requires holding a bachelor's degree, and progressing to a doctoral program usually requires a master's degree. One of the most popular master's degree programs is the MBA - Master of Business Administration.

| A professional certification, trade certification, or professional designation often called simply certification or qualification is a designation earned by a person to certify that he is qualified to perform a job. Certification indicates that the individual has a specific set of knowledge, skills, or abilities in the view of the certifying body. Professional certifications are awarded by professional bodies and corporations. The difference between licensure and certification is licensure is required by law, whereas certification is generally voluntary. Sometimes the word certification is used for licensure.
A Diploma is a certificate or deed issued by an educational institution, such as a university, that testifies that the recipient has successfully completed a particular course of study, or confers an academic degree.
