Commonly referred to as an academic “specialist” in the United States, a degree specialist refers to a student’s concentration within an academic discipline.

Typically, recent graduates prefer a specialist and the average length of time is one year, which may vary somewhat depending on the country you choose and your field of study. At the end, you will receive a specialist certificate.

The area of study you focus on while pursuing your degree is often referred to as your specialist. Specialist consist of a group of core classes, as well as any additional requirements determined by your program of study.

A specialist is combined with your degree when you graduate to give future employers or graduate programs an idea of what you studied, your level of knowledge in a particular area, and what kind of skills you can acquire to bring to the workplace.

For example, you may specialize in business and earn a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) degree, or you may choose to specialize in nursing or health care administration to earn your Bachelor of Science (BS) degree.

Undergraduate Specializations

Often, colleges and universities will offer specialist degree programs to allow students to further focus on their course of study.

For example, someone who wants to work in cyber security may choose to pursue an Information Technology degree with a specialization in digital research. In some cases, a degree specialization may allow you to keep your focus broad enough to cover numerous career options while gaining some additional experience in a particular field.

If you are interested in accounting, for example, but want to give yourself the option of pursuing a variety of business-related positions, you can choose a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) with an accounting specialist instead of a Bachelor of Accounting.

Remember that you can change your specialist if you discover a better option for your interests in the future, and changing your specialist doesn’t always mean you should look for a completely different type of degree. Planning ahead for the career you want can help make things easier in the long run, but if your goals change, your career and degree may change with them.
