<p>what is the difference between undergraduate and graduate?</p>
<p>please reply! thank you!</p>
<p>Undergraduate is the first four years of college (sometimes more or less depending on the student). Graduate is anything after that where you try and get a higher degree. I'm nowhere near an expert, so I'm sure someone can explain it better than I can, but that's the basic gist.</p>
<p>it means TAs vs professors, in a lot of universities</p>
<p>Undergrad leads to a bachelor's degree and is usually completed in 4 years or so. Graduate school leads to any number of graduate degrees -- MBA, PhD, MS, MA, etc. but usually a master's, then a doctorate. They can be completed in 4 years often and more. They're much more research-based and grad students often are TAs for undergrad courses.</p>
<p>There are also what are called "professional programs" at universities. These are usually graduate programs in areas like law or medicine--although they are sometime programs in areas like nursing, pharmacy, or radiation therapy--some of which give undergraduate degrees, some of which give graduate degrees--and sometimes ones which give only associate degrees.</p>
