We are beginning to see alot in the area of workforce planning and succession planning.
Pattern in the US goes like this...
0-5 years old - preschool
6 year olds - Kindergarden
Grades 1 to 5 - Elementary School
Grades 6 to 8 - Middle School
Grades 9 to 12 - High School
Most kids graduate around the age of 17 - some older and some younger but on average 17.
0 - 2 Years of College is usually considered an Associates Degree
2 - 4 Years of College is a Bachelors Degree
* Note, in the US most people graduate in about 4.5 years. Lot's of reasons for this but think 128 credit hours is a normal Bachelors.
A typical Masters Degree is a Bachelors plus 2 years of additional classwork. Sometimes a thesis is required and sometimes not. A Masters is usually about 70 credit hours.
* Note, a Masters Degree in law, medicine and business is all treated a bit different in the US. A medical degree is about 5 years of coursework and an additional 3 years of residency. A law degree is 3 years of coursework and one must past a compentency exam (the bar exam) to a gain a license. A business degree is usually only 2 years in length but fairly intense. Not that the others aren't of couse.
A PhD is a person that attains a Bachelors and Masters and about 80 more credit hours PLUS writes and defends his/her dissertation (read: book). Most PhD programs take about 5 years start to completion.
That's the basics. What else would you like to know? If your keeping count at home - I have a Bachelors (BA in Art History), a Masters (MA in American Indian Studies) and a MBA (Marketing). And, all that took about 8 years or so.
