Graduated refers to the completion of a course or period of training, often associated with receiving a diploma or degree from an educational institution. The term can also refer to a system or scale marked at regular intervals, used for measurement or calculation.

Overview[edit]

Graduation is a significant milestone in an individual's educational journey. It signifies the successful completion of a particular course or level of education, such as high school, undergraduate, or postgraduate studies. The term 'graduated' is often used to describe someone who has successfully completed such a course or level of education.

Graduated can also refer to a system or scale that is marked at regular intervals. This is often used in the context of measurement or calculation. For example, a graduated cylinder is a common piece of laboratory equipment used to measure the volume of a liquid.

Graduation in Education[edit]

In the context of education, graduation is the process of receiving or conferring an academic degree or the ceremony that is sometimes associated with it. The date of graduation is often called graduation day. The graduation ceremony itself is also sometimes called: commencement, convocation or invocation.

High School Graduation[edit]

High school graduation typically marks the end of a student's secondary education and the beginning of their post-secondary education or entry into the workforce. In many countries, students must pass a series of examinations or coursework to graduate.

College and University Graduation[edit]

Graduation at the college or university level often involves the awarding of a degree, such as a Bachelor's, Master's, or Doctorate degree. The specific requirements for graduation can vary widely depending on the institution and the specific program of study.

Graduated Scales[edit]

In the context of measurement or calculation, a graduated scale is a system or scale that is marked at regular intervals. This can be used to measure various things, such as length, volume, or temperature. Examples of tools with graduated scales include rulers, thermometers, and graduated cylinders.
