Majors & Programs An Active Approach to Academics

Undergraduate

'Undergraduate' can be used to describe a degree or a student.

An 'undergraduate degree' is generally a bachelor's degree, a degree requiring about four years of study at the university level (beyond high school).

An 'undergraduate student' is a student who does not have an undergraduate or bachelor's degree but is studying to earn one.

If you have never gone to college, or if the most advanced education you've completed so far is a high school diploma or its equivalent, our undergraduate programs are for you.

A 'graduate degree' is an advanced degree that has a bachelor's degree as a prerequisite. It could be a master's degree (like an M.S., M.B.A., or M.F.A.), a professional degree (like a J.D. or D.D.S.), or a doctoral degree (like a Ph.D. or D.N.P.).

A 'graduate student' (or 'grad student') is someone who has earned an undergraduate or bachelor's degree and is studying to earn a graduate degree.

If you have already earned a 4-year-degree, and you're looking to pursue more advanced study, our graduate programs are for you.
