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! |
Hi, 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.
