Why B schools are called so and not B colleges??

Question

Why the business schools are called "schools" not business colleges though they also provide degree/diplomas??

Answer 1

At least in the U.S., a business college is usually a for-profit trade school, in which you learn things like bookkeeping and clerical skills. In addition, the word "college" is a little confusing in this context, because it has two possible meanings - an entire institution can be called a College instead of a University, if it focuses primarily on undergraduate programs. In addition, a College, like a School, can be a division of the University, so that you could have a School of Business or a College of Business as part (along with a College of Arts & Sciences or a School of Nursing, for example) of the larger University. When people speak of a B-school, it is clear that they are not referring to the entire institution focusing on business, since we don't call an institution of higher education a school, but to a division of the institution.

Answer 2

Because abbreviated it is BS and not BC....sorry that's my version anyway.
