The non-English-speaking world United States of America In
American English all universities are colleges, but not all
colleges are universities. Examples of colleges which do not
qualify as universities include many liberal arts colleges
(which provide tertiary education), and most community colleges
(which also provide post-secondary education). The distinction
from universities is often based on colleges' providing tertiary
education with associate and bachelor's degrees, but not
quaternary education (awarding masters degrees or doctorates).
The definitions of different names vary between the states, each
of which operates its own insitutions, and licenses private
ones. In 1996 for example, Georgia changed all of its four-year
colleges to universities, and all of its vocational technology
schools to technical colleges. (Previous
