An undergraduate is a college student who has not attained a degree greater than an associates or bacholers. A graduate student is a someone who has an undergraduate degree and is seeking a higher degree like a masters or a doctorate.

Undergraduates are studying to receive a 4 year degree called a bachelors or baccalaureate.
Graduate students are those pursuing degrees beyond a bachelors or baccalaureate - which are a masters (+ 2 years of study) or phd (masters +3 years of study).
So, basically you graduate high school, go to 4 years of college - get a bachelors/baccalaureate... then you apply to graduate school - for a masters and study 2 more years, write a thesis then graduate. Then you apply to graduate school to get a phd - a doctorate - and study from 3 to 11 years, write a dissertation and graduate then everyone gets to call you Dr. KnowsItAll !!!!
Good Luck !

Undergraduate is when you are in college/university, up until you get a bachelor's degree (BA, BSc, BBA etc). Once you complete your degree and decide to continue school, you are a graduate student and at this point would be working towards some higher level of education (ie Master's degree, PhD etc).

An undergraduate is working on an Associates or Bachelors degree. A graduate has his bachelors and is working on Masters or Doctorate.

Generally undergraduate is the first 4 years of college, until you get your Bachelor of Arts, or whatever other degree.
Graduate is post-B.A. work, generally leading towards a Master's degree, either Master of Arts, M.A., or Master's of Science, M.S. or convceivably a law degree, J.D., or Master's of Business Administration, MBA.

Undergraduate is what you called while you're pursuring a Bachelor's degree. You're a Graduate student when you get your Bachelor's and are going for your Master's or beyond.

Graduate is after undergraduate. It makes you poor and somewhat wiser !
Really.
When one is considered an Undergraduate student it means that they are in the first 4 years of college. BA, BS BAS
Graduate students have completed the first four years (BA usually about 120 crts.)ex. graduate degrees = MBA, MA, MS

I think an undergraduate hasn't earned a BA yet. Graduate is BA and beyond.

graduate is that you already finished your career in the university. undergraduated is that you are going or you are still studying the career and you haven't finished it yet...
