∙ 12y agoTypically, the degree is the level of education you have completed at the college level. The diploma is the piece of paper that validates that level of completion. The other document that validates completion of the degree is the official transcript which indicates completion, the courses taken and the grades received, as well as the official school seal and signature of the registrar. I hope this makes sense to you. I guess you can think of it as, the degree is a term, and the diploma a piece of paper.

∙ 6y agoGenerally not. It would be more akin to an advanced certification. Professional graduate diploma programs usually require that you already have an appropriate degree before you can enroll in the coursework for the professional graduate diploma so it is an add-on to that degree rather than a degree in it's own right. Degrees from accredited institutions are generally recognized and accepted for qualification to enroll in advanced degree programs. "profession graduate diplomas" are not universally recognized and accepted even if the training is of high quality - usually they are accepted by specific reciprocity between specific institutions (I'll accept people with this certification from you if you will accept people from me with my certifications).
Note that many professions also require specific graduate degrees - for example an M.D. or J.D. or D.D.S. Those are not "professional graduate diplomas" - they are DEGREES.

∙ 13y agoA diploma is a piece of paper, that is issued by an educational institution (high school, college, university, vocational school, etc.). It testifies that an individual has successfully completed a program of study. Now, there are diploma programs. In this sense it is not a college or university degree (associate, bachelor, master or doctorate), and does not meet the requirements of a degree in either course or credit requirements. Thus, you cannot call it a degree.

If the question is in relation to Jamaica in the West Indies, then you have diplomas of different types. You have professional diplomas, some of which are considered equivalent to a Bachelors Degree; you have post-graduate diplomas that are post-Bachelors, post-masters, or post-doctoral degrees; then you have 1,2,3 year diplomas that are not equivalent to degrees but can be used to assess credit and exemptions for a Bachelors Degree or Bachelors Completion Degree. It can get a bit complicated. So for each diploma make sure you ask, so you know beforehand which category it falls into. There is also the University Council of Jamaica to check with to sort it all out.

You need a doctorate's degree in Veterinary Medicine, which is a graduate degree you obtain after completing a bachelor's degree.
You can get counseling diplomas from most anywhere. There are many online schools that provide diplomas for all different types of counseling. If you want a degree you must go to an accredited college.
If the courses you took within the diplomas and certificates were actually college credit courses, then it is possible. How many are usable will depend on which courses you completed and how many fit into the degree in education.
Although some diplomas are worth more than some degrees, a degree is generally better than a diploma.
Yes it is. All the 4 year Post Diplomas in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering are equivalent to a US Bachelors Degree. The Bachelors Degree requires 4 years of full time study after high school, which YMCA Post Diploma meets suitably.
Depending on what purpose you will be using your Bachelor's for, be it for applying for employment to a company in the United States, or to further your education. You would have to consult the US Department of Education and the company, or school you are applying for.
A gold seal is for a regular Bachelor's degree. A red seal indicates an honours degree.
In my point of view, there is no difference between diploma and associate's degree, since they,both last in two years. thanks Asad Abulle
Community colleges do not offer a bachelor's degree. They are authorized to award the two year associates degree, shorter term diplomas, and certificates.
No, diplomas are not degrees. A diploma is usually a certificate-like conferral meaning that you have specialization in a certain area within a field, but a Bachelor's degree is going to be considered more meaningful because it requires a lengthier period of study (4 years versus <1 year for most diplomas).
