West Virginia University

very flexible  regents  BA  program here---looks like an internet degree  but  rides slightly under the radar screen--mostly  it offers hope to persons living in rural areas of WV  to have an opportunity to complete a decent degree---my spouse got one of these degrees and  things got better for her  better jobs and better pay

Yes, you have the right idea (and you are not an idiot   you just haven't been exposed to all of this beofre!).  Undergraduate school is your first four years to get the bachelors degree, and medical school, which you do after getting your bachelors degree, is considered a graduate, or professional, school.  Graduate schools include all programs to be taken after getting the bachelors degree.The difference between a college and a university depends on where you are located.  In Canada or Australia, a college is only a 2-year school or trade school.  In the U.S., however, the term is a little confusing.  The term  college  is often used to refer generally to any institute of higher education, including universities, community colleges, and trade schools. An institution called XXXX College is usually a place that focuses on undergraduate education, although it may also offer some graduate programs, especially masters degrees (which are the next step up from bachelors degrees in some cases, although you won't need one for medical school).  Community colleges, specifically, are usually 2-year schools offering only associate's degrees, which allow you to transfer to another school for a bachelor's degree, and certificates for vocational training.  A university, on the other hand, usually only offers bachelors degrees and graduate degrees.
