An undergraduate degree in chemical engineering is a thing? Do they even get to organic chemistry in lower division stuff?
Can’t speak on China but my BS in chemE did include oChem
Yeah but that's not an undergraduate degree. Unless I'm wrong, he's saying that he has something like an Associates Degree in ChemEng
In the US Undergraduate commonly refers to a bachelors in my experience. Usually folks specifically say associates degree if that's what they are referring to
...really? Huh...
How can you be under graduating if you graduated? I don't like this.
Yep, lol. Grad school starts at Master's degrees.
Yeah but that's a post graduate degree
then you have degrees
then you have degrees for people before graduating called undergraduate degrees
At least that's what I thought
Yeah I think it's just one of those things that usaians say that doesn't make sense. Like calling a main dish an entree, or the whole freshman/sophomore/junior/senior thing for school years. Your logic makes sense, we're just bad at naming stuff sometimes
You go from not having graduated to having graduated, grad school is school for graduates.
Associates degree is a 2 year community college certificate, 4 year bachelor's is undergrad
The Statesian system doesn't make much sense, I agree.
At my local atheist Jesuit college, they stop at undergrad. Probably why their motto is "no gods, no masters degrees."
A BS is an undergraduate degree in
You touch on organic chemistry in high school and get into the basics in most undergraduate degrees where it's relevant. At least in my experience.
Introductory ochem is usually a 200-level course, and a requirement for many different BS degrees
