COLLEGE

En el Reino Unido college es un término que designa a cualquier institución de estudios no primarios. Puede hacer referencia a centros que otorgan un título de licenciado en materias específicas, como arte o música, o a centros de formación profesional. Además algunas universidades como Oxford y Cambridge se componen de colleges en los que los estudiantes tienen también alojamiento.

En la universidad estadounidense, un college es normalmente una división administrativa, semejante a una facultad, como por ejemplo College of Arts and Science o College of Medicine. En ellos se pueden estudiar carreras de cuatro años tras las que se obtiene el título de bachelor's degree. Los cursos de postgrado se imparten en graduate schools. Por otra parte, en los centros denominados junior colleges o community colleges se otorga un diploma llamado associate degree después de dos años de estudio y también se imparten clases de formación profesional a gente que está ya trabajando.
