Other bachelor&#8217;s degrees include the BBA (Bachelor of Business Administration), BFA (Bachelor of Fine Arts), BMus (Bachelor of Music) and BArch (Bachelor of Architecture).<\/p>\n<p>Your American bachelor&#8217;s degree will be accredited in the Netherlands.

Would you like to continue your studies in the Netherlands after your bachelor? Keep in mind that an American bachelor&#8217;s degree does not always automatically grant you admission to a Dutch master&#8217;s program.
