When you graduate high school and go right onto college does that make you an undergraduate? |
[Edit] |
Answer
Yes, an undergraduate is a person who is going for their bachelors degree. A graduate student is someone that has their BA or BS and is working for their masters or PhD.
Answer
An undergraduate is any person enrolled in a four-year college or university program who has not yet graduated with his or her Bachelors degree, B.A.(Bachelor of Arts) or B.S. (Bachelor of Science).
Whether you go straight on to college from high school, or enroll in college at a later date, if you are in college and working toward a four-year degree, you are an undergraduate. The term simply distinguishes one from a person studying toward a graduate degree, as in a Masters, M.A. or M.S. or Doctorate, Ph.D., degree.
The timing is insignificant; it is the act of being in school that defines an undergraduate. Technically, you could be an 80-year-old undergraduate.
