Bachelor of Divinity
In Western universities, a Bachelor of Divinity or Baccalaureate in Divinity (BD or BDiv; ) is an undergraduate or postgraduate academic degree awarded for a course taken in the study of divinity or related disciplines, such as theology or, rarely, religious studies. In most modern universities, the BD as a first degree is essentially equivalent to a Bachelor of Arts degree with a speciality in divinity. Relatively few institutions award undergraduate Bachelor of Divinity degrees today, and the distinction between institutions that do award such degrees and those that award BA degrees for theological subjects is usually one of bureaucracy rather than curriculum.
Florida International University School of Architecture
In 2008, the school converted all its undergraduate bachelor's degrees to their graduate master's equivalents. Previously, an undergraduate student would receive a Bachelor of Arts in Architecture, and then upon graduation, would apply for the 2-year Master of Architecture professional degree. Now, all undergraduate students start in their master's program beginning their freshmen year, and graduate in either 5 or 6 years.
