An undergraduate is someone who is a freshman-senior in college. After you graduate college with your bachelors, you can go back to school to get your masters and doctorate, in which case you would be a graduate student.
Associates, bachelors, masters and doctoate are degrees. You receive your associates rougly during your sophomore year of college, after you hve completed 60+ credit hours. You get your bacholors when you graduate from college, after 4 or so years. You go back for your masters, which takes several more years, then after you have your masters you can go back to school or continue going and get your doctorate, which is the highest degress. Associates and bachelors you get while you are an undergraduate and you get your masters and doctorate while you are a grad student. Hope that helped

wow big question.
The associates degree tends to be a two year program depending on the subject. Bachelors is a four year and from there the degrees get even longer and more expen$$ive.
I would suggest you take some general education classes the first year while you are still pondering which direction to go. That will let you get a grasp of what it is like at college and how well you do in that type of setting. College is very different from high school so there will be some adjustments.
The general ed classes should appy no matter which course you pursue in the second year.

I wish you the best of luck.

Bachelors And Masters
2016-12-12 18:05:30 · answer #4 · answered by Anonymous · 0⤊ 0⤋
An Associate's is a 2-year degree, Bachelor's is 4 years, Master's is usually 2 years beyond a Master's degree, and Doctorate is 2 more years beyond that (or 4 years beyond a Bachelor's if you choose to skip over your Master's). Undergrad just refers to the four (give or take) years you dedicate to your Bachelor's, graduate is any work beyond that.
I would recommend that whichever career you decide on, you go for at least a bachelor's degree. For one, it's just a good rounding-out experience, and secondly, if you decide later to change careers (which many people do) you will already be in good shape.
Good luck!!
