What is the difference between a college and a university?

Hi Simran, A college is a smaller institution that typically offers undergraduate degrees. Some colleges, such as community colleges and junior colleges, may offer only two-year degrees. Most colleges offer Bachelors degrees, and some colleges also have associate degrees. However, a university is an institution that offers undergraduate and graduate degrees. Universities offer graduate programs leading to a Masters degree or a Ph.D. These institutions also may have a medical or law school for students wishing to pursue professional degrees. Some universities offer special programs where their students can earn both an undergraduate degree and a graduate degree in a reduced amount of time. Generally, universities have a more diverse offering of classes and programs than a college because of the larger number of enrolled students. All the best.
