i'm in two minds and i need help.can u guys tell me something? |

In the UK a College is a step up from School and helps to get into Uni, Colleges' qualifications are mainly Diplomas and they allow people into Uni to do their degrees. |

To me, 'college' is an encompassing word, which includes community-college, private-college, and university. I'm not fact-checking this, but I surmise that a university is a large, well-funded college (perhaps requiring a specified quantity of students, or other dependent-variables). |

Well, Here in Australia, a university (or "uni", for short) is the higher level/tertiary of course study generally leading to a 4 yr. degree, minimum. This is preceded by primary school (yr. 1-7) which is known as elementary school in the US. Next, is college- this is for yrs. 8- 12 (there is no "jr." high). In the US, I really think it's all semantics. A 4 yr. bachelors degree can be achieved at a college or university. It's really just a name-game, as far as I am aware... T |

As far as I know a college is where you get a bachelors degree (3 years) and a university is where you get a masters degree (2 years - after the bachelor). |
|
A University is composed of several Colleges (i.e. College of Math, College of Engineering, etc.) that offer advanced degrees beyond a Bachelors degree. |

Having gone to several undergraduate universities which did not offer degree plans past the Bachelor's...usually it has to do with the focus of what many of the graduates are going for and how much funding they can muster. For instance...my first degree came from a church sponsored university where the focus was on nursing and theology. My second degree was from a state sponsored university where the focus was on agriculture and offered degrees all the way up to the doctorate level. On the other hand...I usually see where colleges are smaller and offer associate degrees. Universities do have different colleges...but they will offer Bachelor's in science/arts. |
