Being Bachelor Degree

Until now, scholars may be widened still yearning and hope for most people, of course with the reasons and motives are diverse, ranging from motifs that are naive to the pragmatic-idealistic altruistic motives. In this case, the naive-pragmatic motives could be interpreted as encouragement that are oriented to private interests, for example, to become rich, or get a position in the office, through the efforts and actions that justifies cara.Sementara altruistic-idealistic motives can be understood as a motif which is based to serve and benefit others, through the efforts of studying hard and earnestly.

Bachelor is an academic degree awarded to graduates of the undergraduate program (S-1). To obtain a bachelor's degree, normatively takes time lecturing for 4-6 years or have been taking courses with the number of credits as much as 140-160. If a person has been cleared by a college, then he is entitled to a degree.

Up to the end of the 70s, where scholars may be said quite rare creature on Earth Indonesia, probably because at that time the number of universities (public and private) in Indonesia is still relatively limited. However, along with the expansion of the number of courses and still growing number of higher education to the rural areas, the number of Indonesian scholars are increasingly scattered, with diverse areas of expertise.

Before 1993, the term bachelor's degree in Indonesia can still be counted on the fingers, say for example: Drs., Dra, Ir., Or SH. However, since 1993 (Mendikbud Decision No. 036 / U / 1993), provisions designation academic degrees are becoming more diverse, tailored to the respective areas of expertise, (now the number to reach tens, I was powerless to recall one by one) ,

Mastering the theoretical concept of this area of ​​knowledge in general and the theoretical concept of a special section in these knowledge areas in depth, as well as to formulate procedural problem solving.

Responsible for own work and can be held accountable for the achievement of the organization's work.
Noting the provisions of the National Qualifications Framework Indonesia (KKNI) proficiency level, it appears that a scholar actually has a relatively high position in the structure of Indonesian society, seen from the scientific capacity and its competence.

Thus it seems quite bright, true scholars are not arbitrary and not careless people. Her available cognitive capacity required for high-level and has a responsibility not only to himself and the environment where it is located, but also bear the responsibility that is essential to the divine
