Question

I'm going to be applying to college in the US, and there were different types of students. Graduate, undergraduate, and professional. What are these..? If I am a grad 10 applying for a university in grade 12, what student am I?

Also, I thought if you get into a university , you just get in, but I heard there were different schools in the university too, like business school in Upenn. Im confused, plz help!

Answer 1

Degrees: Classification:

Bachelors - Undergraduate

Masters - Graduate

Doctorate - Professional

MBA - Professional

Specialist - Professional

MSW - Professional

Each university has their own way of classifying students and you need to read the catalog to understand it. The above table is a general table that shows the different types of classifications.

Undergraduate - Is anyone who is completing a Bachelors degree

Graduate - Is anyone who has a bachelors and is furthering their education. So any degrees like MBA, PhD, EdD, MSW, MA, MS, MD, and JD are graduate degrees.

Professional - is open to interpretation and is generally a terminal degree, the highest degree you can get. For example MSW, MBA, PhD, JD, and MD are examples of professional degrees. Sometimes a school will also offer a specialist degree which sits between a Masters and a Doctorate. Usually you will see them in education and normally take three years to complete after receiving your bachelors degree.

Answer 2

you would be an undergraduate. you will still be an undergrad in college. its not till you graduate from college that you are a graduate student.  and yes there are different schools in universities.  you only get into college once. and then in school each major will be in a different school.  for instance Science majors will be in the Science school but you dont need to apply.  Education majors are in the education school. its just a way of separating the majors at the university.

Answer 3

The difference in that is graduates have a highly thinking skills, also they has an evidence that they graduated because of their &quot;DIPLOMA&quot;. Some of undergraduates has a experience in different jobs although they&#039;re undergraduate.
