Academic Classification

When referring to an undergraduate student's classification, use the terms freshman, sophomore, junior and senior.

As for the classification of a student in graduate school, refer to them as a graduate student. When referring to the classification of a student pursuing a doctoral degree, refer to them as a doctoral student or a doctoral candidate for a student who has completed all coursework and comprehensive examinations and is working on a dissertation.

The exception to the above rule for graduate students is when referring to the classification of a student in the College of Veterinary Medicine and Center for Health Sciences. In this instance, refer to them as first-year, second-year or third-year veterinary or medical students. Also, the School of Architecture refers to its students as first-year through fifth-year students.

Example: Jane Doe earned her bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from Oklahoma State University and is now a second-year MBA student in the Spears School of Business.

Example: John Doe transferred to Oklahoma State University as a junior and plans to graduate with a degree in agribusiness.

Example: Jane Doe is a freshman enrolled in Oklahoma State University’s Honors College and plans to double major in psychology and sociology.

Academic Degrees

For faculty, degrees are not used after a person’s name. The person’s specialty should be stated in the first or second reference. Using the last name alone is acceptable after the first reference.

Example: Jane Doe will give a presentation on the periodic table. Doe is an assistant professor in the Oklahoma State University Department of Chemistry.

Example: Jane Doe, an assistant professor in the Oklahoma State University Department of Chemistry, will give a presentation on the periodic table.

Do not use Doctor or Dr. unless the person has a doctoral degree.

As an exception to AP Style, OSU gives the title of doctor to anyone with a doctoral degree. If unsure, check the person’s academic resume to see their degrees earned.

For undergraduate or graduate students, capitalize when the full degree designation is used after a person’s name. Do not capitalize when referring to the generic degree title.

Use abbreviations only when the need to identify several individuals by degree on first reference would make the preferred form cumbersome. Use abbreviations only after a full name, never after a last name. When abbreviations are used, always include periods and offset from the name by a comma.

Example: John Doe earned his Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry on Tuesday.

Example: John Doe earned his bachelor’s degree on Tuesday.
