A bachelor's student is called an undergrad? Yes. It's basically assumed the person is an undergrad, so if you say "He's a student at XYZ University," most people would assume he's an undergraduate student.

Hi guys,

A Ph.D. student is also referred to as a doctoral candidate, although I'm not sure how much this is a feature of AmE.
