Why are some colleges called state university and some just university of?

Some institutions of higher learning are explicitly called 'State University' while others are merely called 'University of' for various reasons. Sometimes, the reason is aesthetic: the name simply sounds better one way or the other. Sometimes, the intention is to make explicit the primary responsibility of the educational institution, namely, to serve educational needs in the state in which it has been established. Sometimes, there may be an agreement (even a kind of legal requirement) that the institution's founders will name the school with the state-oriented responsibility explicit, although the name of most institutions (including the many colleges that exist) are not always expressive of this commitment or others that may be operative.

What university can help you become a pharmacist?
Every state has a STATE UNIVERSITY website. That would be the first start of searching. Private colleges also have the course work that you can do to get your credits as well. Check out a state university (cheaper due to state supported funding) and they could help you find one close to home, another state, etc. They have good counselors who are on their campuses just to do this. Scholarship applications are or have taken place already. But they could help you with figuring out funding.

When did California State Colleges become California State Universities?
In 1972, the state college system became the California State University and Colleges, and in 1982 the word "colleges" was dropped. A community college typically offers a two-year degree (A.A., A.O.S. etc.) or certificate. A university offers advanced degrees (M.A., Ph.D) in addition to a four-year degree (B.A., B.S....) You can complete about 1/2 of your undergraduate work at a community college and petition to transfer to a participating university. I'm from San Diego where we have an excellent community college system which participates with UCSD (UC system) and SDSU (state system). If you hope to tranfer, just be sure to plan carefully with a college counselor.
