Hey guys, I'm a bit confused. I've heard people using the phrases 'degree grad' and 'degree graduate.' Are they the same thing, or is there a difference between the two? I want to make sure I understand these terms before narrowing down my college choices.
Hello! The terms degree grad and degree graduate are actually quite similar and often used interchangeably. Both refer to a person who has completed a degree program at a college or university. Usually, it implies that the individual has successfully finished all the coursework and requirements necessary to earn a specific degree, whether it's an associate's, bachelor's, master's, or doctorate.
When discussing your college choices, you can freely use either term to describe someone who has graduated from a program. There is no significant difference in meaning between the two terms. It's more important to focus on the programs and opportunities each college offers to see if they align with your academic and career goals. Good luck with your college search!
