I feel stupid for asking this but I really am not sure....Undergraduate Degree?

Question

What exactly is an UnderGraduate Degree? i know you can get an undergraduate degree in anything, and i know its 4 years...but what does it mean?

Answer 1

B.A. or B.S. degree in any field. Associates is also an undergrad degree, but is a two year course of study..usually.

Answer 2

An undergraduate degree is earned at a college or university. It is usually a 2 year degree (Associate) or a 4 year degree (Bachelor's).

This is a different "degree" from a Graduate Degree- which is a Master's Degree (usually takes about 2 years to earn). A Graduate Degree can also be a J.D. (Juris Doctor) which is a law degree (takes between 3-4 years to earn).

A medical degree also may be considered a Graduate Degree.

All of these are "advanced" degrees because the student goes beyond the 4 year degree to earn an additional degree- a higher level of education which is often more difficult and challenging than the undergraduate degrees.

I hope this information helps you.

Answer 3

It means about a 30% higher income than a person without a baccalaureate (B.A., B.S.) degree. I'm not certain of the percentage in an associates degree, but I would think it's also somewhat higher than the people without any degree.

If you're even slightly a person who would rather be a thinker and a planner in a job, you'll want to get a 4 year degree. If you wouldn't mind being a drone, doing the same stuff everyday, year after year, then don't bother getting a degree. You'll probably be able to stay a smidge or two above the poverty line.

Plan on going to college for a 4 year degree, it's now considered the basic education requirement for jobs in the USA these days.

Peace.

Answer 4

An undergraduate degree is a bachelor's degree. Some people chose to start by getting an associate's degree from the local community collge, then going to a university to obtain the bachelor's. After you have gotten your bachelor's degree, the next level is the masters, then the PHD.

Answer 5

A degree is a credential that is offered at a university (and some community colleges), and it is normally 4 years in length following 12 years of secondary education. Some undergraduate degees are 3 years in length, and some can stretch to 5 years if co-op work terms are integrated into the curriculum. When a student graduates, she receives a bachelor's degree from the faculty she studied in (e.g. Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Independent Studies, Bachelor of Applied Sciences).

Answer 6

It can be an associate degree which is two years of college full time. It also can be a four year degree called a bachelors degree. These degrees mean a student has completed the course requirements at passing level that make up the degree requirements. Each school's degree programs are evaluated by a licensing board organized by the government according to laws. The board gives the school permission to provide these degrees.

Answer 7

it means ' under graduate

under graduate school . When you are in Graduate School you have a Bachelors Degree - you have to complete it before Graduate School in order to get in there - you are doing your undergraduate degree under or before graduate school that is why it is an UNDER Graduate and not a Graduate - it is less than a graduate degree so it is under it

Answer 8

You are considered "graduate" once you have a bachelor's degree. Everything up until that point is "undergraduate" and once you have the bachelor's, everything after that is "post-graduate".

Answer 9

Bachelor's degree - typically the first degree which may be followed by Master's, and Doctor's.

Answer 10

you haven't go to graduate skool
