I did a bit of research and it seems the exact origin is unclear. The best answer I found is this: The word bachelor is derived from baccalaureate. The term baccalaureate originated from the 17th century Latin word baccalaureus, meaning "student with the first degree. I hope this helps.

A bachelor's degree is a degree in college that takes I think four or five years of hard work in a subject. Like in business, or even in arts.

This is a good question. You are correct in what you have written in that Bachelor means someone who is single. The same holds true in college degrees.

If you graduate from a community college with a two year degree you receive an:

"Associates Degree"

Graduating from a four year college or university
You receive an undergraduate:

"Bachelors Degree: A singular degree

IF you go on to a Graduate Schools you can receive both a

"Masters Degree" and or a PHD (known as a doctorate degree)
