Learn English – “Freshman”, “sophomore”, what next

single-word-requests

I know first and second year undergraduate students are freshmen and sophomores respectively.

  • Are there similar terms for third and fourth years, given most programmes are three or four year programmes?
  • If no, is there any reason for coining a word only for the second year (i.e., sophomore)?

Best Answer

Junior is the third grade. Senior is the fourth grade.
