The Master of Business Administration (MBA or M.B.A) is a master's degree in business administration (management).

The MBA degree originated in the United States in the early 20th century when the country industrialized and companies sought scientific approaches to management.

The core courses in an MBA program cover various areas of business such as accounting, finance, marketing, human resources, and operations in a manner most relevant to management analysis and strategy.

Most programs also include elective courses.

A Master of Science (abbreviated MS, M.S., MSc, M.Sc., MSci, M.Sci., ScM, Sc.M., SciM or Sci.M) is a master's degree in the field of science awarded by universities in many countries, or a person holding such a degree.

In contrast to the Master of Arts degree, the Master of Science degree is typically granted for studies in sciences, engineering, and medicine, and is usually for programs that are more focused on scientific and mathematical subjects; however, different universities have different conventions and may also offer the degree for fields typically considered within the humanities and social sciences.

While it ultimately depends upon the specific program, earning a Master of Science degree typically includes writing a thesis.

A Doctor of Philosophy (PhD, Ph.D., or DPhil; Latin ') is a type of doctoral degree awarded by universities in many countries.

Ph.D.s are awarded for a wide range of programs in the sciences (e.g., biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, etc), engineering, and humanities (e.g., history, geography, literature, musicology, etc), among others.

The Ph.D.

is a terminal degree in many fields.

The completion of a Ph.D.

is often a requirement for employment as a university professor, researcher, or scientist in many fields.

A clear distinction is made between an "earned doctorate", which is awarded for completion of a course of study and a thesis or dissertation, and an "honorary doctorate", a title granted by a university to a successful or notable person who has not completed doctoral academic work or completed a dissertation at the university.

Individuals with an earned doctorate can use the title of "Doctor" with their name and use the post-nominal letters "Ph.D.", "PhD" or "DPhil".

A graduate school (sometimes shortened as grad school) is a school that awards advanced academic degrees (i.e. master's and doctoral degrees) with the general requirement that students must have earned a previous undergraduate (bachelor's) degree with a high grade point average.

A distinction is typically made between graduate schools (where courses of study vary in the degree to which they provide training for a particular profession) and professional schools, which offer specialized advanced degrees in professional fields such as medicine, nursing, business, engineering, or law.

The distinction between graduate schools and professional schools is not absolute, as various professional schools offer graduate degrees (e.g., some nursing schools offer a master's degree in nursing).

Also, some graduate degrees train students for a specific profession (e.g. an MSc or a PhD in epidemiology trains a person to be an epidemiologist).
