“Educational status”

If you want to be precise the question isn’t “are you a college graduate” but “do you hold a bachelors degree or higher from an accredited institution”. Anyone who graduates from a college, is a college graduate. Not all college graduates have bachelors degrees or higher.

[quote=Anonymous][quote]But community colleges are in fact actual colleges since the credits/units you earn at them can transfer to a University. [/quote]

The accreditation system is different.  Community colleges are held to a different set of standards than four-year colleges.  Acceptance of transfer credits is at the discretion of the institution that is allowing the transfer.

Even if one can word-weasel his way into claiming that a two-year AA degree makes him a "college graduate," claiming the latter is still misleading.  Many, if not most, people in the US would expect "college graduate" to mean (as noted above) a graduate of a four-year program from a regionally accredited institution.

This is not about making people feel good about themselves.  It is about clearly communicating one's educational status.[/quote][/quote]
