An undergraduate degree is an associates or a bachelors degree while a graduate degree is a masters or a PhD.  Most colleges, including Princeton, have both undergraduate and graduate programs available.

A high school diploma is just what you get when you graduate high school. You need this for even the menial jobs nowadays, and it's very important. This requires four years of fairly easy to very intense study.\n\nA BA is a bachelor's degree in the arts, which is basically four years of college. BAs are becoming the norm now for education, where most office jobs and jobs requiring any intellect require a college degreee. When people say they've been to college, they usually mean they have a BA or a BS, which is a bachelors in any science field.

You may apply for graduate school.  The requirements may be differed you should contact the school you would like to apply.  here are some common requirements:\n- complete undergraduate degree with- 3.0 G.P.A (B average, 85% of grades).\n- taken GRE or GMAT

depends on if you're planning on getting a higher degree. With a B.S. you can work in a lab, as a lab tech in industry, go into education and teach younger kids, etc. With a master's degree (which you usually have to pay for), you're in between because you're not the boss but don't do the grunt work. With a PhD (you usually get paid to study for this degree, at least in the US),you can have your own lab and do research, be a professor, go into industry, or basically anything.

A B.A. is more practical, focused, and qualified.  A B.S. is more theoretical and broad.

Graduate degrees usually require more coursework and/or some kind of thesis.  In some places (like the UK) the difference is your performance in your classes:  if you don't do well enough to qualify for a master's degree you may get a certificate instead (there are other possibilities, too, like no degree or one with "honours").\n\nThe cynical answer is that degrees look better on a resume and are more likely to qualify you for a higher salary.

you go to college to minor and major in something...what you major in is your primary "skill" and your minor is your secondary. A graduate student is someone who has already got their B.A. or B.S or B.M degree (bachelors) and undergraduate is someone who is still in college and hasn't graduated with a bachelors degree yet.

Masters of Business Administration.  BA is a Bachelor of Arts.  BS is a Bachelor of Science.  AA, I think, is an Associates degree.

An undergraduate degree (sometimes called a first degree or simply a degree) is the most common and lowest academic degree available and is normally studied at a higher education institution, such as a university. \n\nOnce you have obtained this degree Associates, Bachalor Etc . you can go for your Graduate degree such as...Masters, PhD Etc.\n\nHope this helps.

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.

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.

GRaduate level courses means you took courses in a Graduate School (that is,a a school where you have to have a B.S. degree before you register) so that would be AFTER you received your first B.A. or B.S. degree. Obviously a person who has a B.A. or B.S. cannot claim to have a Masters! You have to receive an M.A. or M.S. or equivalent degree before you can claim that!

A diploma is what you get out of high school.  It is also a certificate of some form of completion/graduation.\n\nA degree means you have been educated at a college or university in some specific field and you are now well educated in that area. (ie, a college degree in biology or something)\n\nA degree is better.  You can get higher ranges of degree, associate, bachelor, master, doctorate.  That is the ranking of degrees.

Business is not a legimate undergraduate subject to study in college much less graduate study. This isn't because it isn't important but because that is something you learn by experience and using trial and error. You can't teach common sense. Some people are born with natural instincts for business.

Your master's degree does not have to be in the same field as your bachelor's degree.  So you can study "anything you want" at the graduate level.\n\nHowever, a graduate program expects the students entering that program to understand what should have been learned at the undergraduate level.  So if your graduate degree is in a field where you did not focus in your undergraduate work, you might need to do some "levelling" work to prepare.\n\nIt really depends on the degree you are wanting to pursue, and how different it is from your undergraduate major.  Check with some graduate schools for the field you are interested in and see what sort of levelling work they would require.

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.

BA = Batchelor of Arts (2-5 years; usually 3 in the UK)\nBSc = Batchelor of Science (2-5 years; usually 3 in the UK)\nOften called 'first' degrees. Ones with honours (Hons) are a little higher, e.g. BA (Hons). Most university students start at this level.\n\nMA = Master of Arts (1-2 years; usually 1 in the UK)\nMSc = Master of Science (1-2 years; usually 1 in the UK)\nThis is above a BA/BSc and below an MPhil. Depending on the subject and university, some students can bypass the MA/MSc and move straight onto an MPhil/PhD. For other subjects/universities, an MA/MSc is required before students can study at MPhil level.\n\nMPhil = Master of Philosophy (1-2 years)\nThis is above an MA/MSc and below a PhD. Almost all PhD students begin at MPhil level. Their work is then assessed and if it is good enough, their degree is upgraded to a PhD, allowing them to continue their studies. If the work isn't good enough, they are awarded an MPhil instead and do not continue.\n\nPhD = Doctor of Philosophy (3+ years including MPhil)\nThis is above an MPhil, and is considered to be the highest degree that can be attained. The PhD is just a continuation and expansion of the work done at MPhil level, so the time quoted for completing both degrees is usually three years, however, PhDs can take extra time to finish, so this is simply a nominal figure.\n\nThere are other degrees: MLitts, DPhils, LLBs, BMeds and so on, but explaining them all would be a monster task, whilst the ones above cover the majority of degrees normally taken in the UK. Finally, if you begin in science (BSc) this doesn't mean that you cannot then do arts (MA), or vice versa with a BA and an MSc.
