An MRS Degree or M.R.S. Degree is a derogatory slang term in North American English for when a young woman attends college or university with the intention of finding a potential spouse, as opposed to pursuing academic achievement for a future career. The term derives from "Mrs.", a common honorific for married women, and its similarity to abbreviations for academic degrees, such as "M.S." for a Master of Science.
