Question

In U.S.A, "graduated"always means"completed his studies of four years"?
For those who left Univ. at athe end of 3 grade, "graduated"is not used?
Please answer.

Answer 1

Most people use graduated to mean that they completed their requirements for successful completion, and attended the graduation/closing ceremonies. In other words, they got their diploma. The diploma signifies that they completed the requirements for the degree.

The Bachelors degree is usually four years, but some people get it in less time.

I think people who finish their work in 3 years or 3.5 years sometimes wait for the graduation ceremony, which is usually in late May or early June, before they actually say that they have graduated, but they have completed their work.

Answer 2

When the term "graduated" is applied to college or university study in the US, it means to have completed the course of study in how ever many years it takes (most often four), earning a degree, usually a baccalaureate like a B.A.

Students who leave without completing the degree requirements are not considered to have graduated, even if they attended a full four years.

Answer 3

graduated means that lke you've finished a grade; and now your going into another grade ; at another school : 1. elementary when you get to 5th grade you graduate. 2: um middle school people don't graduate, but they do get to go to the next grade ; and then 3. highschool when your in 12th grade you graduate. and for college once you are done for a year of a class; you graduate.
