degree of candidate in philosophy candidatus philosophiae Explanation: cand., candidatus (lat.), Kandidat, Student höheren Semesters, der sich auf sein Examen vorbereitet, Anwärter auf einen akademischen Grad, in Verbindung mit dem Studienfach gebräuchlicher Namenszusatz, wie cand. art., candidatus artium, cand. ing., candidatus ingenuae, cand. oec., candidatus oeconomiae, cand. phil., candidatus philosophiae, cand. soc., candidatus sociologiae. http://www.htwk-leipzig.de/fileadmin/oema/publikationen/Hoch... The usual practice in the United States is for a graduate student working toward a doctorate to earn a Master's degree (usually Master of Arts or Master of Science) in course after about two years of coursework. In a very few universities, a student who has completed all of the coursework, all of the comprehensive examinations in the subject and all of the language examination requirements, and whose dissertation topic has been approved - in short, who has fulfilled all requirements for the doctorate except the writing and defense of the dissertation itself - may be awarded a Master of Philosophy degree, beyond the Master of Arts or Master of Science already earned. In other universities, such students used the informal designation of Ph.D. (ABD), for "All But Dissertation," not an actual degree but an informal convention. The University of California began offering the Candidate in Philosophy degree in the early seventies, but most campuses discontinued the practice before the end of that decade; however, it is still offered at some UC campuses, such as the University of California, Santa Barbara and San Diego, where it may be awarded within one year of advancing to candidacy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candidate_of_Philosophy -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2012-04-29 17:04:40 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- studentischer Grad Ab der Zwischenprüfung oder dem Beginn der Vorbereitung auf den endgültigen Studienabschluss auch als „cand. (candidatus) + Fachrichtung“. Candidatus (abgekürzt cand.) bezeichnet Studenten eines höheren Semesters, die sich kurz vor oder in der Zeit der Abschlussprüfungen befinden, also kandidieren (nämlich für einen akademischen Grad), oder je nach Studienfach oder örtlichem Gebrauch auch Studenten nach bestandener Zwischenprüfung. Der Begriff bezieht sich auf den candidatus, den (lat.) Anwärter auf ein Amt, im Römischen Reich. Als es früher auch eine „grundständige Promotion“ gab, also eine ohne vorher erworbenen akademischen Grad, konnte ein von einem Professor angenommener Doktorand diese Selbstbezeichnung haben. phil. - philosophiae Geisteswissenschaft, vgl. trivium http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studentischer_Grad |
