What’s the Difference?

Colleges tend to be smaller, with smaller class sizes, and students receive more personal attention from faculty.  Universities offer master’s and doctoral degrees which require completion of the bachelor’s degree first.  Universities tend to be larger, with faculty time and attention divided between research and teaching.  Some large universities will have divisions named “The College of Liberal Arts” or the “College of Engineering.”
