Definition

  • The graduate degree represents important creden-tialing and scholarly training that make a range of professional opportunities possible for its recipients. Specifically for African Americans, the advanced degree may represent not only the highest level of individual degree aspiration as a terminal credential required for entrance into professional careers, but also it may signify the means to needed health, financial, legal, and other professional services to their underserved communities.
