Every day one two-word expression or compound word used in American English.
An academic program is a structured series of courses designed to help students achieve a specific degree or qualification. It's the roadmap a student follows to graduate, complete with requirements, electives, and prerequisites. Most universities organize these programs by department (like the English program or Biology program) and set standards for how many credits you need, which classes are mandatory, and which are optional.
