Hola!
Se trata de un certificado de notas de la Universidad de Oregón, USA, y habla de diferentes tipos de asignaturas y distingue entre esas dos.
Serían ASIGNATURAS DE PREGRADO DE PRIMER CICLO / SEGUNDO CICLO? DE PRIMEROS CURSOS / CURSOS SUPERIORES?
Y no sé si pondría pregrado o lo obviaría, se supone que si está estudiando para sacarese esos estudios son "pre" grado.
Porque he leído por ahí que diferenciaba entre troncales y optativas, pero creo que no va por ahí...
Gracias de antemano!

Quizás no me expresé con la debida claridad. En mi comentario puse "estudios universitarios VERSUS (por oposición a) estudios de posgrado, que vienen después de completar los cilcos básico y superior de estudios universitarios.

What is the difference between lower-division and upper-division courses?
Lower-division courses are offered for freshman and sophomore level credit. All courses offered at a community college are lower-division courses. Upper-division courses are offered for junior and senior level credit. These courses are not offered by community colleges.

I'm in the process of researching graduate programs, and one of the ones I'm interested in prefers their applicants to have a B average in "upper division" classes. I just want to clarify what this means. I'm in a 4-year undergraduate math program, so would "upper division" be 3rd and 4th year courses, or would 2nd year courses be dragged into the mix?
Edit: I am talking about US grad schools, but I go to a university in Canada. Right now, I have a GPA of about 3.3, which I hope to surpass in 3rd and 4th year to look better on my grad school app.

asignaturas de grado terciarias y superiores
"Los estudiantes que asisten a un Community College pueden hacer lo que se conoce como el “2+2”, es decir que estudian dos años de temáticas básicas en el college y al tercer año piden transferencia a una universidad para cursar el resto de materias. La materias que se estudian en el college se conocen como Lower Division Courses y las que cursan una universidad son las Upper Division Courses".
Los Lower Division Courses suelen ser de temática general y los Upper Division Courses ya son asignaturas especializadas a la carrera que se pretende estudiar.

In some other educational systems, undergraduate education is postsecondary education up to the level of a master's degree; this is the case for some science courses in Britain and some medicine courses in Europe.
