What is the difference in undergraduate and graduate college degrees?
155829
Undergraduate is the bachelor's degree level, the first four years (usually) of college.  Graduate degrees are masters or doctorates, and you need a bachelor's degree to be admitted to graduate school.  The difference, realistically, is thousands of dollars per year in salary once you graduate.  Also, the difference is specialization:  you can remain pretty general in undergraduate school these days, but you need to decide on a particular area in order to enroll in a graduate program, and they will require that you have certain prerequisites from your undergraduate days.  That's why juniors and seniors need to make those sorts of choices, so they can take the classes that will get them into the graudate school they want.\n\nDoesn't always work, though; people change their minds.  Then you may have to do another year of undergraduate work even after you get your bachelor's degree in order to fulfill all the prerequisites for your graduate program.\n\nGood luck!

I like the B.A. myself, I think it is more rounded, but a B.S. is more traditional for a science related field.  In general, however, most employers won't care much one way or the other.

College is an institution of higher learning, esp. one providing a general or liberal arts education rather than technical or professional training. \n\nUniversity is an institution of learning of the highest level, having a college of liberal arts and a program of graduate studies together with several professional schools, as of theology, law, medicine, and engineering, and authorized to confer both undergraduate and graduate degrees. Continental European universities usually have only graduate or professional schools.

THe associates degree is a 2 year degree whereas the Bachelor's is a 4 year degree. As faras better?? THe AA will get you work in certain fields, but if you have the time to invest the BS will open up more doors for you usually

A Bachelor's degree is just that, a 4 year degree and a Bachelor's degree with honors is the same thing but you get the degree at the top % of the graduating class.

In the United States the terms college and university are used fairly interchangeably.  Both colleges and universities offer bachelors, masters and some PhDs.  There are also professional graduate schools (medecine, law, vetinary medicine, dentistry).\nOne can teach with a bachelor's if one has completed the requirements for teacher certification in that state.  For some states, teacher certification is completed with a Masters, for others, it is completed along side the bachelors.\nSome colleges, universities and community colleges (also known as junior colleges) offer a 2-year degree called an associates degree.

They are both a bachelor's degree and are therefore viewed the same. Your major determines which one you will be awarded upon graduation. History and education both fall into the arts category.

Choosing what you want to get a master's degree in depends on what your interests are. I'm sure you have developed some interests as an undergraduate, so you should probably pursue those in graduate schools. Just as some general information, Clinical psychology is the most competitive and intense graduate program in psychology. A terminal master's degree is usually not offered, so unless you are willing to pursue a PhD, you probably don't want to go into clinical. Also clinical really emphasizes the importance of research and service. So unless you want to be a therapist, a researcher of psychological phenomena or an academic (professor), clinical may not be right for you.

A BFA is a performance degree, and it means that you have attained some skills in a medium of some kind--art, theatre, literature.\n\nA BA is a traditional bachelors degree that involves a core of liberal arts work plus a major area of study.

In order to be accepted into a Graduate program you must have an undergraduate degree. It is possible at some schools to take SOME grad classes while still an undergraduate, and there are also some schools which offer a BS/MS programs.\n\nIntelKnight is right though, to get the most out of an MBA program it's best to have some work experience that you can apply to your studies and vice versa, be able to apply your studies to your job.

It's EXTREMELY important to get a college degree if you want a decent job.  Today's job market is much more competitive than it has *ever* been.  Today, bachelor's degrees are the *standard* (whereas a generation ago, a high school diploma was) for a *decent* job.  For anything beyond a decent job (and by decent, I mean simply steady employment with enough pay to *just* get by), you'll need an advanced degree.

The best degree is the degree that is best for you. It's not so much what you get, but what you do with it. \n\nIf you have an ability or skill set that makes it easier for you to do one or the other, choose that one, you will succeed easier. If you have a passion or an attraction to one, choose that one, you will love your job, which makes you better at it. \n\nBoth are higher degrees, so they are not inherently better one than the other. \n\nGo with your heart. Try to delve into each to get a taste for it, then evaluate which you like best.

A college degree is a certification of completing a course of advanced study in a particular field. Like a high school diploma says that you've completed your grade school education and know your stuff, a college degree says that you've taken advanced classes and know a particular field.\n\nYour particular field is called your major, and most of your classes are in this major. You will also take some general curriculum of writing, math, etc. If you choose to spend some of your elective classes towards another field, you may be able to get a minor. Probably a better word for "major" is "concentration", which is what Harvard calls it: you concentrate on that field, although you will take classes in other fields.
