Grading comment

For the USA Explanation: undergraduate = the first 4 years of University Graduate = courses toward one's Masters degree Post Graduate = courses toward ones Doctorate -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-06-16 20:26:23 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- After looking into this I have discovered that graduate and postgraduate studies are synonymous and both mean studies toward either one\'s masters or Doctorate, it merely depends on the country and/or institution. As to Yoshiro\'s comment: Graduate as a noun is a person who has graduated. Graduate as a verb is the act of passing to the a next level. Graduate as an adjective refers to after graduation Additionally - these three forms of the word can be used for other purposes other than referring to studies. Thank you all for your comments to date - I have learned something today. |
