The term "State College" generally refers to a college that is owned by a US state and is ultimately an agency of that state. Other terms for a state college would be a "public college". This is somewhat different from a "State Related" college which is a college that holds a public mission and generally receives annual appropriations from the state but has constitutional autonomy and has more flexibility to set its own direction and policies as well as determine the membership of its board of trustees.
An example of a state college would be The Evergreen State College in Olympia, WA while a state related institution would be The Pennsylvania State University.
There are colleges that use the words "State College" in their title but are not necessarily publicly owned.
This is not to be confused with the Borough of State College, PA which is the home of The Pennsylvania State University
