Why is university certificate called bachelors degree?
I have a lot of things I've been thinking of,one of them is why the university certificate is called a bachelors degree?
If you say its assumed(Back in the days)that only bachelors go to university what about the married ones? Or the spinsters?

Hmm... most probably because they still live in the medieval days... or maybe because they believe in co-education thus calling them all bachelors.
The term bachelor in the 12th century referred to a knight bachelor, who was too young or poor to gather vassals under his own banner. By the end of the 13th century, it was also used by junior members of guilds or universities.
