Terminal degree
A terminal degree is the generally accepted highest academic degree in a field of study. While an academic (or research) doctorate is considered the terminal degree in most academic fields of study, professions may consider specific professional degrees as the terminal degree, and some fields have, through custom, terminal degrees which are not doctorates.
