<P> In the U.S., a Junior is a student in the penultimate (usually third) year and a Senior is a student in the last (usually fourth) year of college, university, or high school . A student who takes more than the normal number of years to graduate is sometimes referred to as a "super senior". This term is often used in college, but can be used in high school as well . The term underclassman is used to refer collectively to Freshmen and Sophomores, and Upperclassman to refer collectively to Juniors and Seniors, sometimes even Sophomores . The term Middler is used to describe a third - year student of a school (generally college) that offers five years of study . In this situation, the fourth and fifth years would be referred to as Junior and Senior years, respectively, and the first two years would be the Freshman and Sophomore years . </P> <P> A graduate student is a student who continues his / her education after graduation . Some examples of graduate programs are: business school, law school, medical school, and veterinary school . Degrees earned in graduate programs include the Master's degree, a research doctoral degree, or a first professional degree . </P> <P> Students attending vocational school focus on their jobs and learning how to work in specific fields of work . A vocational program typically takes much less time to complete than a four - year degree program, lasting 12--24 months . Liberal Arts that are required in four - year Universities are less important to these students because the skills necessary for their careers take precedence in order for a timely completion of the program . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Td> Part of the Politics series on </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Students' rights </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> History (show) <Ul> <Li> 2010 United Kingdom student protests </Li> <Li> 2014 Hong Kong protests </Li> <Li> Free school movement </Li> <Li> Free Speech Movement </Li> <Li> German student movement </Li> <Li> May 1968 events in France </Li> <Li> Port Huron Statement </Li> <Li> Protests of 1968 </Li> <Li> Students for a Democratic Society </Li> </Ul> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Concepts / Theory (show) <Ul> <Li> Authentic assessment </Li> <Li> Anarchistic free school </Li> <Li> Democratic education </Li> <Li> Freedom of speech </Li> <Li> Democratic schools </Li> <Li> Hidden curriculum </Li> <Li> Minimally invasive education </Li> <Li> Scholarism </Li> <Li> Sudbury school </Li> <Li> The Student </Li> <Li> Student activism </Li> <Li> Student - centred learning </Li> <Li> Student protest </Li> <Li> Student riot </Li> <Li> Students' union </Li> <Li> Student voice </Li> <Li> Unschooling </Li> </Ul> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Issues (show) <Ul> <Li> Alternative school </Li> <Li> Censorship of student media </Li> <Li> Compulsory education </Li> <Li> Ordinance of Student Rights </Li> <Li> School corporal punishment </Li> <Li> School discipline </Li> <Li> School district drug policies </Li> <Li> School speech </Li> <Li> School - to - prison pipeline </Li> <Li> Student Bill of Rights </Li> <Li> Zero tolerance </Li> </Ul> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Organizations (show) <Ul> <Li> European Students' Union </Li> <Li> Hong Kong Federation of Students </Li> <Li> Rouge Forum </Li> <Li> RMIT University Student Union </Li> <Li> New Students for a Democratic Society </Li> <Li> Student Press Law Center </Li> <Li> Worker Student Alliance </Li> </Ul> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Related (show) <Ul> <Li> Animal rights </Li> <Li> Anti-racism </Li> <Li> Feminism </Li> <Li> Labor rights </Li> <Li> Socialism </Li> <Li> Youth rights </Li> </Ul> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> <Ul> <Li> Social movements portal </Li> </Ul> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> <Ul> <Li> </Li> <Li> </Li> <Li> </Li> </Ul> </Td> </Tr> </Table>
