Northwestern California University School of Law - My Journey

That's so cool! I'm glad you landed on another grad program you liked. Good luck! Can't wait to see how the program treats you.

It's a JD which is a doctorate.

I know it's a doctorate. Why are you bringing that up? Do you not think that doctorates qualify as graduate education? That would be a first for me, and I've been around the block a few times. 

A graduate degree is anything past the undergraduate (Bachelor's) level of study. A graduate program is any program that offers degrees past the undergraduate level. Doctorates are considered graduate degrees. Any program offering education past the undergraduate level are graduate programs. 

Here are the first four links that came up when I searched for, "What is a graduate degree?":

Some of those schools even reference the JD in their posts. What I said is accurate. [url=https://bau.edu/blog/graduate-degree/][/url]

You're absolutely right.
