Colleges and Universities Colleges and universities are degree granting institutions of

higher education. In the original sense of the word, a college was a group of students who gathered to share academic and residential facilities. Each college was a component part of a corporate body called a university. Today, especially in the United States, a college may be affiliated with a university or be independent. American undergraduates traditionally have been required to take general survey courses before they specialize in major areas of concentration; the undergraduate program generally is four years, and each year is split into two or three semesters. In contrast, European students begin their higher education with specialized students because their general education is completed in secondary school.
