Masters, Bachelor's and Doctoral Degrees? HELP!?

Hey! So, I want to be a lawyer, and ultimately a Judge. I'd like to specialize in child protection agencies and/or criminal cases. My guidance counselor said I should probably get a bachelors degree in political science/English/history/philosophy or anything else to do with the field I want to specialize in. I looked at all the courses for York University, and it has all those courses, but it says they are offered in graduate, undergraduate, masters and doctoral. It never said anything about Bachelors... So, is undergraduate like, the same thing as a bachelors or?? I'M SO CONFUSED!

    "Undergraduate" or "undergrad" means that you are actively enrolled in college and have not yet gotten your Bachelors.

    Once you have your bachelors degree, you are technically a "graduate student." That means you'd be allowed to do a Masters or a Doctorate. Of course, you can always go back and get another bachelors in something.

    To recap, "undergraduate" means you're working on your 4 year degree and the coruse you'd take would be a 100, 200, 300 or 400 level course.

    Undergraduate = Bachelors

    Post-graduate = Everything else.
