Undergraduate is the studies leading to your first college or university degree, which you join after graduating from high school. An undergraduate degree is most often a BA (Bachelor in Arts) or a BS (Bachelor in Science). A Ph.D is literally a Doctor of Philosophy. It is the highest degree in most areas, and it is usually 6 to 8 years after a BA or a BS.

Undergraduate means that you didn't graduate from whatever faculty/institution you are in. So if you're an undergrad in high school, it means you didn't graduate from high school. Same with bachelor's degree. Ph.D meand Doctor of Philosophy, and is usually applied to doctors who study the humanities. M.D. is doctor of medicine.

College degrees are:
Undergraduate = Bachelor's degree - 4 year program
Graduate program can be Masters degree or Doctorate degree.
Masters degree usually takes two more years where as Doctorate degree takes 4 or more years. Those are ON TOP OF 4 years for BS degrees.
PhD is a doctor of philosophy and is just one branch of doctorate degree. Others are Md - doctor of medicine. Ed - doctor of education, etc.
Many degrees, such as engineering, science, etc are considered doctor of philosophy.
