Whats the difference between going to a 2 year college being in a undergraduate and being ina graduate program

How does that hole thing work exactly?|||Going to a 2-year college (community college) means you are either there to get your associates degree, or you are taking classes before you transfer to a 4-year school. Students at a 4-year school are called undergraduate students, and they are working towards getting their bachelors degree. Once you have a bachelors degree, you can go back to school as a graduate student to get a higher degree, like a masters or a PhD. |||At a 2 year college you can get an degree in many areas that only take two years to complete. You also can take core classes and get an Associate degree and transfer to a 4 year college to complete a Bachelor degree. You can transfer to a 4 year college from a 2 year college without completing all 2 years.


You are an undergraduate until you have graduated from a 4 year college with a BA. You are then a gradate student working towards a masters or a doctorate degree.





many students go to a 2 year college to get their general core classes done at a lower tuition price. A community college is also easier to get into than most 4 year colleges.|||A 2 year college is considered a community or junior college. Your are only granted an AA or an Associates degree.





To be considered for graduate school you need to have a 4 year college degree. A 4 year college grants Bachelors degree.





Graduate programs require you have a 4 year degree (bachelors) and are more specialized towards a particular field, i.e. business administration, public policy, medical doctor. These grant Masters degrees, Juris Doctor (JD, Lawyer), Medical Doctor (MD), and PhD. |||You have





2 years: Associates Degree, such as an AA or AS





4 years: Bachelors Degree, such as a B.S. or B.A.





6 years: Masters Degree, such as a M.B.A. or M.S.





8 or more years: Doctorate, such as a Ph.D. or a M.D. or D.O.|||No difference at all. One can lead to moving on to the next.


Call the nearest community college and ask the registrar.
