The term "degree name" refers to a specific academic or professional qualification that is awarded to an individual after they have completed a prescribed course of study or fulfilled certain requirements. The degree may be conferred as a result of successful completion of a program, such as a bachelor's, master's, or doctoral degree in higher education, or it could signify the attainment of a specific level of competence within a profession, trade, or craft. In either case, the "degree name" serves to identify and distinguish the individual from others who may not possess that same qualification or level of expertise.
