College often refers to liberal arts
colleges which provide education primarily at the

undergraduate level. It can also refer to schools which offer a
vocational, business, engineering, or technical curriculum. The term can
either refer to both a self-contained institution that has no graduate
studies or to the undergraduate school of a full university (i.e. that
also has a graduate school).
Colleges vary in terms of size, degree, and length of stay. Two-year
colleges offer the Associates degree (A.A.) and four-year colleges offer
the Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor of Sciences (B.S.) degree. These
are usually primarily undergraduate institutions, although some might have
limited programs at the graduate level.
Four - year institutions in the U.S. which emphasize the liberal arts are
liberal arts colleges. These colleges traditionally emphasize interactive
instruction (although research is still a component of these
institutions). If not associated with a university, they are often
categorized as residential and generally have smaller enrollment, class
size, and teacher-student ratios than universities.
These colleges often encourage a high level
of teacher-student interaction at the center of which are classes taught
by full-time faculty rather than graduate student TAs (who sometimes teach
the classes at Research I and other universities). The colleges are either
coeducational, women's colleges, or men's colleges.

Some are historically black colleges. Some are also secular (or not affiliated
with a particular religion) while others are involved in religious education.
Many are private. Some are public liberal arts colleges. In addition, colleges
such as Hampshire College, Pitzer College, Sarah
Lawrence College, Bennington College, New College of Florida, and Reed
College offer experimental curriculums.
Boston College on the other hand, public and private universities are
research-oriented institutions which service both an undergraduate and
graduate student body. Graduate programs grant a variety of Master's
degrees including M.B.A.s or M.F.A.s. The doctorate is the highest
academic degree, and the Ph.D. is given in most fields. Medical
schools award M.D.s while law schools award the J.S.D. as the highest
academic achievement. These institutions usually have a large student
body. Introductory seminars can have a class size in the hundreds in
some of the larger schools. The interaction between students and
full-time faculty can be limited as compared to some liberal arts
colleges. At some of the larger universities some undergraduate
classes are taught by graduate student TAs. |
