disagree  jyuan_us: 原文里并没有说明，甚至没有隐含申请人一定要有学位这一要求。或许持有毕业证而没有获得学位的毕业生仍然在招聘方的考虑范围。因此译成graduates已经很充分。

  -> 我查了一下，的确“本科毕业生“并不一定会获得学位。只不过大多数情况下，大家谈及”本科毕业生“时一般都觉得应该是指那些拿到学士学位的人。毕竟，没拿到学位的”本科毕业生“只是少数。 谢谢你指出我的错误，

所谓“本科”指的是“征才的那个专业”，“本科毕业生”指的是从那个专业毕业的人；没有毕业就是没有毕业，不管他没有毕业的原因是否与他的专业有关；不是“本科毕业生”可以是“别科毕业生”，也同样称为 graduate(s) with Bachelor degree，只可惜不是“本科”，所以征才的单位不予考虑。

简单说，“本科”指的是应征者的 major。

如果说，在中国“本科”不指“专业”，那么台湾和中国的汉语语感差距还真是已经到达非同小可的地步了！

agree  Huijun Suo: 其实在中国 college graduate 是包含专科毕业生的（大多是三年制），尽管他们的比例在减少。所以如果这家公司很看重文凭，这样的求职者仍然是要被拒绝的。不过这个表达已经很地道。

graduates from four-year colleges


Explanation:
excluding those from two- or three-year colleges; not necessarily with bachelor's degrees; but must be 'fresh', excluding those who graduated in the previous years.
