In the US Undergraduate commonly refers to a bachelors in my experience. Usually folks specifically say associates degree if that's what they are referring to

...really? Huh...

How can you be under graduating if you graduated? I don't like this.

[-] Cowbee@hexbear.net 29 points 1 day ago

Yep, lol. Grad school starts at Master's degrees.

[-] AntiOutsideAktion@hexbear.net 12 points 1 day ago

Yeah but that's a post graduate degree

then you have degrees

then you have degrees for people before graduating called undergraduate degrees

At least that's what I thought

[-] spudnik@hexbear.net 20 points 1 day ago

Yeah I think it's just one of those things that usaians say that doesn't make sense. Like calling a main dish an entree, or the whole freshman/sophomore/junior/senior thing for school years. Your logic makes sense, we're just bad at naming stuff sometimes

Associates degree is a 2 year community college certificate, 4 year bachelor's is undergrad

You go from not having graduated to having graduated, grad school is school for graduates.

The Statesian system doesn't make much sense, I agree.

At my local atheist Jesuit college, they stop at undergrad. Probably why their motto is "no gods, no masters degrees."
