An undergraduate degree is one of two degree types that precede a master's, or graduate, degree. There is first an associate degree, which is structured to take two years to complete. These degrees are most often associated with community colleges, though they can also be earned at many four-year institutions of higher education. The coursework for an associate degree is primarily composed of the general liberal arts education curriculum plus a few courses in a major field such as marketing, accounting, or journalism. During an undergraduate degree program, students have a course load that is certainly more than that they were likely used to in high school but less than what is expected in a graduate degree program. An upper-level undergraduate course may require term papers of around 20 pages, whereas a master's course may double or triple that work. Ultimately, to embark on a satisfactory career path, students will need to complete an undergraduate degree. An associate degr...

  College life is full of new and exciting experiences. Students are suddenly offered far greater freedom, loads of new people to meet, and courses that offer new and challenging ideas. One primary challenge in college is time management. Since schools may divide students' time according to a quarter or semester system, this seemingly mundane aspect of college life should be carefully considered. After all, one's life activities will be determined in no small part by how their classes are structured. A year spent on the semester system will often start earlier in the year, but then it will end earlier as well, though with a shorter winter break relative to quarter systems. This is typically better for students who wish to pursue work or other educational opportunities over the summer. The semester system also tends to align with the systems most of us experience in high school, thus providing an easier transition for first-year students.   Overview Semesters Vs. Qua...

Sometimes referred to as the Graduate Equivalency Degree or General Education Diploma, GED actually stands for General Educational Development. This is an exam that, if passed, proves that a high school level education has been achieved. This is typically most relevant to people who are close to finishing high school but are unable to graduate or must drop out. GEDs are recognized and accepted by approximately 97% of all United States colleges, universities, and employers. States that do not offer the GED include Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Maine, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, New York, Tennessee, and West Virginia.
