Typically, a "college" is a department or field of study within a university. For example, the college of communication arts and sciences at Michigan State University. However, a "university" typically denotes a four-year (Bachelors degree) program and higher, while a "community college" or "junior college" typically will offer more in the area of two-year degrees (associates degrees) and maybe some four-year programs. For instance, Texas Tech University has many colleges and departments and has Bachelors degree programs, Masters programs and Doctorate (Ph.D. Ed.D., etc) programs, while Lansing Community College (in Michigan) offers almost esclusively, associates degrees. Menlo College (in California) is very small and offers four-year programs, however, they have not grown to the size to choose to be accredited as a university.
