Undergraduate education

Undergraduate education is education conducted after <a href="/facts/Secondary_education/Cpsxkx3v">secondary education</a> and before <a href="/facts/Postgraduate_education/VhXDbhBz">postgraduate education</a>, usually in a college or university. It typically includes all postsecondary programs up to the level of a <a href="/facts/Bachelor%2527s_degree/s739u69z">bachelor's degree</a>. For example, in the United States, a student pursuing an associate or bachelor's degree is known as an undergraduate student while a student who has already obtained a bachelor's degree and is pursuing a higher degree (masters, doctorate) is a <a href="/facts/Graduate_student/VhXDbhBz">graduate student</a>. Upon completion of <a href="/facts/Course_(education)/2zTkFzbR">courses</a> and other requirements of an undergraduate program, the student would earn the corresponding <a href="/facts/Undergraduate_degree/VXXbjgYN">degree</a>. In some other educational systems, undergraduate education is <a href="/facts/Higher_education/6GjdtJap">postsecondary education</a> up to and including the level of a <a href="/facts/Master%2527s_degree/lQ5hT1cH">master's degree</a>; this is the case for some science courses in Britain and some medicine courses in Europe.
