Academic levels refer to the stages of education that students progress through as they advance their knowledge and skills. These levels typically include elementary school, middle school, high school, and higher education. Each level builds on the previous one, with students learning more complex subjects and concepts as they move forward. In higher education, academic levels are often categorized into undergraduate and graduate studies. Undergraduate programs, such as associate degrees and bachelor's degrees, provide foundational knowledge in various fields. Graduate programs, including master's degrees and doctorates, allow students to specialize further and conduct advanced research in their chosen disciplines.
