Which group awards credits for a bachelor's degree?

The Professional Golfers' Association (PGA) is responsible for the awarding of credits for a bachelor's degree in the context of Professional Golf Management (PGM) programs. The PGA sets standards and oversees the educational requirements for individuals pursuing a career in golf management, ensuring that they acquire the necessary knowledge and skills in both golf and business management.

By offering accreditation to programs that meet their criteria, the PGA recognizes the educational accomplishments of students who earn their degrees from affiliated schools. This relationship fosters a structured path for aspiring golf professionals, allowing them to receive formal credit for their academic achievements, which is crucial for certification and career advancement in the golf industry.

In contrast, while the Department of Education plays a role in regulating and overseeing educational institutions, it does not directly award credits for specific degrees within the context of the PGA. Similarly, the National Golf Association and the Board of Control focus on different aspects of the golfing world, such as tournament regulations and governance rather than academic accreditation.
