Graduate and undergraduate schools can be the same institution – you attend graduate school AFTER you attain your undergraduate degree (Bachelor’s).
Masters degrees and doctoral degrees – these are graduate and post graduate degrees.
MBA – Master’s of business administration

MS – Master of science
MSW – Master of social work
MEd – Master of education
PhD – Doctor of philosophy
MD – Medical doctor

An undergraduate school offers first degrees eg. BA, BSc, BSW etc.
Graduate school offers degrees beyong the bachelor’s level eg. MA, MSc, MSW, Phd, MD etc.
Typically one has to graduate with a first degree before going on to do a higher level degree, hence the name, graduate school. Graduate school is for graduates! Undergraduate school is for those who have not yet graduated!
