A **doctoral degree -**  **research/scholarship** is a Ph.D. or other doctor's degree that requires advanced work beyond the master's level, including the preparation and defense of a dissertation based on original research, or the planning and execution of an original project demonstrating substantial artistic or scholarly achievement. Some examples of this type of degree may include Ed.D., D.M.A., D.B.A., D.Sc., D.A., or D.M., and others, as designated by the awarding institution. A **doctoral degree -**  **prof essional practice**  is a doctor's degree that is conferred upon completion of a program providing the knowledge and skills for the recognition, credential,

Some of these degrees include: chiropractic (D.C., or D.C.M.); dentistry (D.D.S. or D.M.D.); law (L.L.B. o r J.D.); medicine (M.D.); optometry (O.D.), osteopathic medicine (D.O.); pharmacy (Pharm.D.); podiatry (D.P.M., Pod.D., D.P.); or veterinary medicine (D.V.M.), and others, as designated by the awarding institution.

Other examples include certificates in administrative support, computer programming, and medical records. A **post -**  **baccalaureate cer tificate**  provides students who already hold a bachelor's degree with new or additional training in an area of specialization. Certificates typically require fewer course hours than do master's or doctoral degrees, and do not require a thesis or dissertatio n. Examples of this include certificates in accounting, computer science, and human resource management. A **post -**  **master's certificate** usually requires completion of 24 semester credit hours beyond the master's degree but does not meet the requirements of academic degrees at the doctoral level. **Not enrolled for a degree or certificate: Undergraduate**  **- level classes**  means taking courses mostly at the undergraduate level but not formally enrolling in a degree or certificate program of any sort. **Graduate level classes**  are for students who already hold an undergraduate degree or certificate and who are enrolled in graduate

Help Text If you are attending or plan to attend any college, university or trade school between July 1,

2014 and December 31, 2014 for a degree or certificate, answer **"Yes"**

. Answer **"Yes"** whether you are continuing with an uncompleted current degree or certificate, or whether you are starting a new degree or certificate. A **trade school** offers instruction in skilled trades. **Degree or certificate programs include: Undergraduate**  **certificates or diplomas** usually take less than two years to complete and are usually designed to equip people with the skills needed for direct entry to or to earn a license such as a cosmetology license. Other examples include certificates in administra tive support, computer programming, and medical records. An **associate's degree** normally requires at least 2, but less than 4 years, of full

-time equivalent college work. A **bachelor's degree** is usually awarded by a 4
-year college or university and usually requires at least 4 years of full

-time, college
- level work. A **post -**  **baccalaureate certificate** provides students who already hold a bachelor's degree with new or additional training in an area of specialization. Certificates typically require fewer course hou rs than do master's or doctoral degrees, and do not require a thesis or dissertation. Examples of this include certificates in accounting, computer science, and human resource management. A **master's degree** usually requires at least 2 years of full

-time gra duate
- level work and may require a thesis or a practicum. A **post -**  **master's certificate** usually requires completion of 24 semester credit hours beyond the master's degree but does not meet the requirements of academic degrees at the doctoral level. A **doctora l degree**  **- research/scholarship**  is a Ph.D. or other doctor's degree that requires advanced work beyond the master's level, including the preparation and defense of a dissertation based on original research, or the planning and execution of an original project demonstrating substantial artistic or scholarly achievement. Some examples of this type of degree may include Ed.D., D.M.A., D.B.A., D.Sc., D.A., or D.M., and others, as designated by the awarding institution. A **doctoral degree -**  **professional practice** is a doctor's degree that is conferred upon completion of a program providing the knowledge and skills for the recognition, credential, or license required for professional practice. The degree is awarded after a period of study such that the total time to the degree, including both pre
- professional and professional preparation, equals at least six full

-time equivalent academic years. Some of these degrees include: chiropractic (D.C., or D.C.M.); dentistry (D.D.S. or D.M.D.); law (L.L.B. or J.D.); medicine (M.D .); optometry (O.D.), osteopathic medicine (D.O.); pharmacy (Pharm.D.); podiatry (D.P.M., Pod.D., D.P.); or veterinary medicine (D.V.M.), and others, as designated by the awarding institution. A **doctoral degree -**  **other** is a doctor's degree that does not meet the definition of a doctor's degree
- research/scholarship or a doctor's degree
- professional practice. **If you will be attending classes only between July 2014 and December 2014, answer "No."**  **Classes only means: Mostly undergraduate** **- level classes**  means takin g courses mostly at the undergraduate level but not formally enrolling in a degree or certificate program of any sort. **Mostly graduate -**  **level classes** are for students who already hold an undergraduate degree or certificate and who are mostly enrolled in graduate

do not plan to pursue any education beyond what you are currently working on, indicate your current degree, certificate, or classes. **Undergraduate level courses, no undergraduate degree or certificate**  **expected** means taking courses at the undergraduate level but not expecting to formally enroll in a degree or certificate program of any sort. **Undergraduate certificates or diplomas** usually take less than two years to complete and are usually designed to equip people with the skills needed for direct entry to employment or to earn a license such as a cosmetology license. Other examples include certificates in administrative support, computer programming, and medical records. An **associate's degree** normally requires at least 2, but less than 4 years, of full

-time equivalent college work. A **bachelor's degree** is usually awarded by a 4
-year college or university and usually requires at least 4 years of full

-time, college
- level work. **Graduate level courses, no graduate degree or certificate expected** means already holding an undergraduate degree or certificate and enrolling in graduate

- level courses beyond a bachelor's degree, but not expecting to formally enroll in a graduate degree program. A **post -**  **baccalaureate certificate** provides students who already hold a bachelor's degree with new or additional training in an area of specialization. Certificates typically require fewer course hours than do master's or doctoral degrees, and do not require a thesis or dissertation. Examp les of this include certificates in accounting, computer science, and human resource management. A **master's degree** usually requires at least 2 years of full

-time graduate
- level work and may require a thesis or a practicum. A **post -**  **master's certificate** usu ally requires completion of 24 semester credit hours beyond the master's degree but does not meet the requirements of academic degrees at the doctoral level. A **doctoral degree, research/scholarship** is a Ph.D. or other doctor's degree that requires advanced work beyond the master's level, including the preparation and defense of a dissertation based on original research, or the planning and execution of an original project demonstrating substantial artistic or scholarly achievement. Some examples of this type of degree may include Ed.D., D.M.A., D.B.A., D.Sc., D.A., or D.M., and others, as designated by the awarding institution. A **professional doctoral degree** is a doctor's degree that is conferred upon completion of a program providing the knowledge and skill s for the recognition, credential, or license required for professional practice. The degree is awarded after a period of study such that the total time to the degree, including both pre
- professional and professional preparation, equals at least six full

-time equivalent academic years. Some of these degrees include: chiropractic (D.C., or D.C.M.); dentistry (D.D.S. or D.M.D.); law (L.L.B. or J.D.); medicine (M.D.); optometry (O.D.), osteopathic medicine (D.O.); pharmacy (Pharm.D.); Podiatry (D.P.M., Pod.D., D.P.); or veterinary medicine (D.V.M.), and others, as designated by the awarding institution.
