Have you ever wondered why some schools are called colleges and others are called universities? People generally use the two terms interchangeably. However there is a difference in their actual meaning. While colleges are typically smaller than universities, size alone does not determine under which category a school fits.
A college offers a particular type of degree, such as a Bachelor of Arts. A university offers multiple degrees, such as undergraduate and graduate degrees. Plus, universities divide their programs of study into different schools called colleges. For example, a university may have a College of Liberal Arts and Science, a Graduate School of Education, and a School of Business, among others. Select the college that is right for you based on your area of study and future plans.
