These advanced programs commonly are in creative arts and the medical field, but they may include other courses of study. The credentials awarded from these programs can be professional degrees.
Professional degrees prepare to work in a particular profession, often meeting the academic requirements for licensure or accreditation.
In the United States, apprenticeship that is registered and overseen by a government organization is known as registered apprenticeship. In some states, this organization is the United States Department of Labor; similar state bodies register and oversee registered apprenticeships in the other states. Those organizations issue educational credentials to the graduates from the registered apprenticeships.
