| Is it correct to say..."You can go to a university to study a degree?" or "To study for a degree?" Is it correct ot say..."Study a career?" "Study a degree"? Are all these correct? If not, which ones? Thank you The Alien! |

Each of your examples feel awkward to hear. Most people would understand what you are trying to say but there are better ways to say it! An individual goes to a university to earn a degree. Studying is a necessary function of earning a degree. To 'study a degree' is not common usage. An individual in a university would explore requirements for entering a career field. After determining that the requirements can be met the student would begin his/her studies in order to earn the required degree for his/her chosen career. Cheers, Amigos4 |
