SUMMARY

The discussion clarifies that a standalone number in educational contexts typically represents the year an individual graduated with a Bachelor's degree. In contrast, when additional information is provided, such as the degree type followed by the year, it indicates the graduation year for other degrees. This distinction is crucial for accurately interpreting educational qualifications.

To be precise, if there's just a number, as in the first example, it's the year they got their Bachelor's degree. For other degrees, as in the second example, you'll see the degree and then the year.
