College vs. University

The US government defines college: "College: An institution of

higher learning that offers undergraduate programs, usually of a

four-year duration, that lead to The Bachelor's degree in the arts or

sciences (B.A. or B.S.). The term "college" is also used in a general

sense to refer to a postsecondary institution. A college may also be a

part of the organizational structure of a university."

University is defined as: "University: An educational institution that

usually maintains one or more four-year undergraduate colleges (or

schools) with programs leading to a bachelor's degree, a graduate

school of arts and sciences awarding master's degrees and doctorates

(Ph.D.s), and graduate professional schools."
