Bachelor of Letters

Bachelor of Letters (BLitt or LittB; Latin Baccalaureus Litterarum or Litterarum Baccalaureus) is a second bachelor's degree in which students specialize in an area of study relevant to their own personal, professional, or academic development. This area of study may have been touched on in a prior undergraduate degree but not studied in depth, or may never have been formally taught to the student. The degree is less often awarded now than in previous centuries, and is, at the current time, only awarded by two universities in Australia and four universities in Turkey, although it is still very common in Brazil.
