What is a "Bakkalaurea Artium" and is it equivalent to a "Bachelor of Arts"?

Thank you. :-)

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

by AA I mean Associate degree, that's an undergrad degree in my neck of the woods (CA). And just for the record, I only know AE, don't know much about la perfide Albion :-)

Sarah You did mean "American audience," didn't you? Or what did you mean with "AA" (probably not American Airlines)? I probably ought to call it quits for today... ;-)
sarahl (X) Jul 10, 2006:
Hi Derek, thanks for the source. That would be AA in my (blue) book.
Derek Gill Franßen (asker) Jul 10, 2006:
Hi everyone I just wanted to let you know that this is how the word is spelled in the document (from a German university). ;-)
Derek Gill Franßen (asker) Jul 10, 2006:
Hi Sarahl it is generally for an American audience (I think that is where she's applying). Here was her actual question: "Eine Frage: lässt sich, was ja günstig für mich wäre, der Titel 'Bakkalaurea Artium' als 'Bachelor of Arts' übersetzen?!" I was so sure of myself that I became insecure and decided to pass the question on to all of you (to make sure). ;-)
sarahl (X) Jul 10, 2006:
BA or AA?

Seems like it's German way to call it.
Peer comment(s):

disagree Ferguson (X) : it is not German but Latin / I studied Latin for 6 years, Grosses Latinum! Latin is not a dead language, it even has a word for aircraft.

No way! It cannot be Latin, no -kk- in Latin, thank you, my friend ;-) + It's not Latin, thank you anyway, it should be -cc- in Latin, as in Laura's answer to which you agreed. -kk- is not Latin. My best regards
neutral Richard Benham : Kiril, it is transliterated Latin, with "kk" replacing "cc". It ends in "-a" because the graduate is a woman.
55 mins
I just state it's not Latin, and it `seems like a German way to call/name it'. But it's not a real Latin, despite the meaning is obvious
neutral Will Matter : Original term is misspelled, it's -cc and so forth. Hi, Kirill.
57 mins
Hi, Will, exactly, that's what I tried to explain :)
