THINKING about studying in the US? You’ll need to decide which type of degree to pursue (追求). Students who have completed high school can get one of two higher-education degrees: an associate degree (修满两年课程的肄业证书) or a bachelor’s degree (学士学位). These are known as undergraduate degrees. Those who have earned a bachelor’s have the option of pursuing a graduate degree, such as a master’s or doctoral degree.
