    In Graduate school you can obtain both masters and doctorate degrees. Masters you have to get 30- 50 credits to obtain a degree. If you are going for you PHD you have to get 50- 70 credits to obtain that degree.... its hard-work (i HAVE A MASTERS) you're gonna need a great family base because there are gonna be times where you're gonna miss out on some fun events studying late.

    Go to Boarders Book Store they have hundreds of books about grad school and how to select the best one

    Graduate school includes both the masters and PhD. A student working on either is considered a graduate student. A masters is a few years of advanced coursework. A PhD, which comes after the masters, includes an original, publishable research project.

    The first 4 years of college, your Associate and Bachelor programs, will be completed in undergrad. Then, your Masters, Ph.D., J.D., etc. will all be done in grad school.

    Regardless if you're going to Med School, Law School, or any other academic program in grad school, there will be an exam you must take in order to be admitted into that graduate program. Do your research according to your career goals and figure out what exam scores you must present in order to qualify for entry into any graduate program.

    Best of Luck!

    Grad school is the same as going to a masters program. PhD program is considered post graduate program.
