Spanish to English Other General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters

Hi,

I am translating a form for a social services agency from Spanish to English (meant for the US market), and I am not 100% sure what "Grado" means in this context:

(This is how it is listed in the form)

Nombre de la persona que realiza el estudio de hogar: Liliana Sanchez

Título: Asistente Social

Grado: Servicio Social

Número de Licencia: DFER 5545



I am pretty certain that "título" refers to an academic title, but I am not sure whether "Grado" refers to a rank within the company or an academic level of some sort (social services).


Also, I am aware that there are existing KudoZ entries on this term and I researched them extensively, but I am still left with doubts as they have not adequately addressed my concerns.

Any help is appreciated and thank you.


Robert
