Ad eundem degree
An ad eundem degree is like getting a special award for being really smart at one school and then going to a different school and showing that you're still really smart.
Imagine that you're in preschool and you're the best at your school at coloring inside the lines. Your teacher is really impressed with you and thinks you've learned everything you need to know about coloring inside the lines.
Now imagine that you graduate preschool and start kindergarten at a different school. Even though you're at a new school, you still know how to color inside the lines really well. This is like getting an ad eundem degree. It means that your new school thinks you're so smart that they're giving you a special award for already knowing all of the things you need to know in your area of study.
So if you go to college and you're really good at math, and then you transfer to a different college, you might get an ad eundem degree in math because you've already proven that you know a lot about math.
