Can someone please explain the difference between graduate and undergraduate?

You must have a four year Bachelor degree to qualify to apply to Graduate schools. Almost all students apply and attend graduate school at a different university from where they did their undergrad degree.

Financial aid can not be used for a second Bachelor degree. It is not worth your time or money to do a second Bachelor degree,

A Masters degree is higher than a Bachelor degree.

Bachelor degree

Masters degree

Docotrate degree

Some jobs and some positions require a Masters or Docotrate degree.degree. A second Bachelor degree wouldn’t be of use.

Not to confuse you, but it is possible get your Bachelor degree in one area and your Masters degree in an other. Or a more specific area of your Undergrad studies.

A Bachelor degree in engineering and a Masters degree in Mechanical Engineering.

A Bachelor degree in dance and Masters degree in Physics Therapy

Hello

I agree with Drip’s answer. Once out from high school you go to colleges for bachelors programmes i.e., undergraduate. It is 4 years programme helps to enter into graduate programmes i.e., masters degrees at universities.

Instead of 4 years degree you can also choose diploma courses to get into graduate schools.

Undergraduate programs lead to associate's and bachelor's degrees and that graduate programs lead to master's and doctoral degrees.

Undergraduate is where you get a Bachelor's degree. Graduate includes Master's and Doctorate degrees. You apply to an undergraduate program after you graduate high school, and you have to have a bachelor's to go to graduate school. Some universities have undergraduate and graduate programs, so make sure you're looking at the right thing. You don't necessarily need a Master's degree or above depending on what job you're looking at. You may need to go to a professional school (pharmacy school, med school, PA school, just to name a few). Hope that helps!

Your first explanation is correct. You cannot go directly from high school to graduate school. You have to be an undergraduate first, and receive a bachelor's degree (usually), before going to graduate school.

The first one.

You are considered an "undergraduate" when you are enrolled in a bachelor's degree program. From high school, you apply as an undergraduate.

You are considered a graduate student once you have earned a bachelor's degree AND are enrolled in an advanced degree program (from college, you apply as a graduate student). These include Master's degrees, PhD degrees, or professional graduate degrees such as, in the U.S.A., MD (doctor), DVM (veterinarian), DDS (dentist), and JD (lawyer) degrees (although in other countries, many of these professional degrees are done at the undergraduate (bachelor's) level).

Of course, it's not always that straighforward. What if, after I've gotten my law degree (JD), I decide to go for a second bachelor's degree in engineering? I would apply as an "undergraduate" student, even though I have already have a bachelor's and graduate degree, since I am seeking to enroll in a bachelor's program.

What if I am accepted, from high school, into "dual degree" program, like a BS/MS program in which I earn my bachelor's degree and Master's degree in five years, without needing to reapply to graduate school? Technically, I'd never be a "graduate student" since I wouldn't earn my bachelor's degree until I graduated with both the bachelor's AND master's degree. I doubt anyone would complain, however, if I called myself a "graduate student" during my fifth year.
