Question: what degree is awarded at SUMA and other colleges for completion of 3-7 years of study?

Context paragraphs:
Bachelor of Environmental Design: A Bachelor of Environmental Design, (B.Envd.) , is an undergraduate course of study.  Similar in nature to a pre-law degree, the B.Envd is designed as preparatory undergraduate training for a professional course of study in architecture, landscape architecture, or urban planning, and is one of several degrees offered as preparatory training for the Master of Architecture degree.  An alternative three-year Master of Architecture exists for people with a bachelor's degree not related to design, the M.Arch I degree.  A Bachelor of Environmental Design should not be confused with a Bachelor in Environmental Studies, which though similar, does not train one for graduate professional study in architecture, landscape design, or urban planning.  Environmental Design degree programs generally take four years of full-time study to complete and in some institutions allow an emphasis on urban planning, architecture or landscape architecture.  Other pre-professional degrees include the B.S. in Architectural Studies, B.A. in Architecture, the B.S. in Architecture, and the B.S. in Construction Management.  Though the Bachelor of Environmental Design is not accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board NAAB, like other college degrees, programs in Environmental Design are accreditation through their host-institution schools by various regional agencies, such as the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, or the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.  The Bachelor of Environmental Design should not be confused with the M.Arch or the five-year accredited B.Arch degree.

Certificate of Attendance: Upon completion of a college certificate program, students generally receive a certification of completion or certificate of achievement, not a degree, diploma, or equivalent .  Candidates may be able to transfer college certificate credits to degree programs at other colleges, depending on the institution.  In the United States and Canada, a certificate of attendance is a certificate given to students who complete the K-12 (kindergarten through 12th grade) program but do not meet the requirements for the high school diploma or the modified diploma.  A certificate of completion is a similar certificate, awarded to students with disabilities who complete the required Individualized Education Program  but do not meet the requirements of the high school diploma.

Master's degree: A master's degree (from Latin "magister") is a second-cycle academic degree awarded by universities or colleges upon completion of a course of study demonstrating mastery or a high-order overview of a specific field of study or area of professional practice.  A master's degree normally requires previous study at the bachelor's level, either as a separate degree or as part of an integrated course.  Within the area studied, master's graduates are expected to possess advanced knowledge of a specialized body of theoretical and applied topics; high order skills in analysis, critical evaluation, or professional application; and the ability to solve complex problems and think rigorously and independently.

Ngagyur Nyingma Institute: The Ngagyur Nyingma Institute NNI, (Tib: སྔ་འགྱུར་མཐོ་སློབ་མདོ་སྔགས་རིག་པའི་འབྱུང་གནས་གླིང་། , Wylie: "snga 'gyur mtho slob mdo ngags rig pa'i 'byung gnas gling") of Namdroling Monastery was established by His Holiness Penor Rinpoche in 1978.  Students from various countries go there for higher Buddhist studies.  For nine years, they mainly study the Sutra and Tantra teachings of the Buddha, as well as the commentaries written by great Indian and Tibetan scholars.  As an ancillary subjects, they study Buddhist philosophy in general, poetry, composition, grammar and the history of Tibet, as well as English and other languages.  During the nine-year course, students complete four years for a མཐའ་བྲལ་སྨྲ་བའི་དབང་ཕྱུག tha-bral smra-ba'i dbang-phyug degree (equivalent to a Higher Secondary degree), two more years for a ཕར་ཕྱིན་རབ་འབྱམས། phar-phyin rab-'byams degree (equivalent to a bachelor's degree) and the last three years for a མདོ་རྒྱུད་ངེས་དོན་བསྟན་པའི་སྣང་བྱེད་ཆེན་པོ། mdo-rgyud nges-don btan-pa'i nyin-byed chen-po degree (equivalent to a master's degree).  After the completion of the nine-year course, earning these three degrees, they are then placed in various monasteries and Dharma centres in Himalayan countries and abroad to render their service of teaching Buddhism.  NNI also provides an option to continue one’s study and research towards a PhD.

Associate degree: An associate degree (or associate's degree) is an undergraduate academic degree awarded by colleges and universities upon completion of a course of study intended to usually last two years.  It is considered to be greater level of education than a high school diploma or GED.

Assistant professor: Assistant professor (frequently capitalized as Assistant Professor) is an academic rank used in universities or colleges in the United States, Canada, and some other countries.  It is generally taken after earning a doctoral degree and sometimes after several years of holding a postdoctoral researcher position.  It is below the position of associate professor at most universities and is equivalent to the rank of lecturer at most Commonwealth universities.  In the United States, assistant professor is often the first position held in a tenure track, although it can also be a non-tenure track position.  Full professorships are assistant professor, associate professor, and full professor in order.  After 7 years, if a tenure-track position and successful, assistant professors can get tenure and also get promotion to associate professors.  It is very competitive to become a tenure-track assistant professor, especially at top tier and research universities in the U.S. Sometimes close to 300-500 applicants apply for a single position.  Due to funding issues the number of positions for full time professors has dropped significantly.  Colleges are saving money by replacing full-time professors with adjuncts.  With these facts, less than 20% of graduates get tenure-track assistant professor positions immediately after graduation.

Shastri (degree): A Shastri (Hindi: शास्त्री ) degree is awarded to pupils after years of higher education in the Sanskrit language (at institutions such as Sampurnanand Sanskrit University or Rashtriya Sanskrit Sansthan in India).  The length of training required for a Shastri degree is usually seven years following the completion of secondary school, although students may continue training for an additional two years to obtain an Acharya degree.  At the completion of their training, while recipients retain their surname for their descendants, they are given the option to change their current surname to reflect attainment of the degree.  This degree also enables pupils to become accredited Hindu Priests and Religious Teachers.

Master of Economics: The Master of Economics is a postgraduate master's degree in economics (M.Econ., M.Ec.; also MS in Economics, MA in Economics, MCom in Economics) comprising training in economic theory, econometrics and / or applied economics.  The degree may be offered as a terminal degree or as additional preparation for doctoral study, and is sometimes offered as a professional degree, such as the emerging degree, "M.P.S. in Applied Economics".  The program emphases and curricula will differ correspondingly.  Many universities (in the United States) do not offer the master's degree directly; rather, the degree is routinely awarded as a master's degree "en route", after completion of a designated phase of the Ph.D. program in economics.  The course of study for the master's degree lasts from one to two years.  A thesis is often required, particularly for terminal degrees.

Sistema Uniforme de Mejora Académica: Sistema Uniforme de Mejora Académica (SUMA, "The Uniform System of Academic Improvement") is a privately developed system of formative evaluations and remedial assignments, developed for students in Mexico.  The exams are intended to take place beginning in the last year of pre-school, and continue through primary school, secondary school, and the "bachillerato" (a phase of education between secondary school and university).  As of 2007, the system had been implemented at private schools in 23 Mexican cities, covering a total of 100,000 students.

Bachelor's degree: A bachelor's degree (from Middle Latin "baccalaureus") or baccalaureate (from Modern Latin "baccalaureatus") is an undergraduate academic degree awarded by colleges and universities upon completion of a course of study lasting three to seven years (depending on institution and academic discipline).  In some institutions and educational systems, some bachelor's degrees can only be taken as graduate or postgraduate degrees after a first degree has been completed.  In countries with qualifications frameworks, bachelor's degrees are normally one of the major levels in the framework (sometimes two levels where non-honours and honours bachelor's degrees are considered separately), although some qualifications titled bachelor's degrees may be at other levels (e.g. MBBS) and some qualifications with non-bachelor's titles may be classified as bachelor's degrees (e.g. the Scottish MA and Canadian MD).
