Ad eundem gradum

For other degrees, see Academic degree An ad eundem degree is a courtesy degree awarded by one university or college to an alumnus of another.Before the advent of modern means of transportation had shrunk the world, it was common, when a graduate from one American college moved into the neighborhood of another, for his new college to admit him as a courtesy "to the same degree" (in Latin, ad eundem gradum). Thus if he was a bachelor of arts in the college he had attended, he was likewise a bachelor of arts in the eyes of his new local college. (Not every college extended this courtesy to all other colleges, however.)
