university, college

university, college
A university is an institution of higher learning that embraces two or more colleges. In the United States, a representative university would have teaching and research facilities comprising a graduate school and a number of other colleges (or so-called schools) devoted to arts and sciences and to professional training for law, medicine, and other pursuits. Normally, a college awards degrees for undergraduate work only; a university is equipped to offer master's and doctoral degrees: "Harvard College is a part of Harvard University." "After she was graduated from Dartmouth College, she studied law at the University of Virginia." In proper idiom, one goes to college and to the university.
