What is the difference between a college and a school?

In: Jobs and Education

[Edit]

Answer

Generally speaking a University is made up of several colleges, and a college is made up of several school. Although a college can sometime be a school of itself.

For example, a university might have business college, engineering college, and so on. The engineering college might has a school of electrical engineering, school of mechanical engineering, etc. But the business college might be the business school.

It don't really think their is any hard, fast rule on this. However, it does usually follow that schools are named after a person that has donated a large sum of money to that school. :-)
