graduated from vs graduated in

Both 'graduated from' and 'graduated in' are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'Graduated from' is used to indicate the completion of a degree or program at a specific institution. Meanwhile, 'graduated in' is used to specify the field or major in which the graduation occurred. It can also be used to the year when someone graduated.
