| These
words are used interchangeably in the United States. In fact,
Americans often use the word "school" to describe
any learning center, from a nursery school to a university.
Generally, a college will be an institution of higher education
with two- year (Associate of Arts) or four-year (Bachelor of
Arts/Sciences) programs. A university also offers four-year
bachelor's degrees, and also more advanced degrees (master's
or doctorate). A bachelor's degree from a college and a university
are equivalent. |
