A university is an institution of higher education and research, which grants academic degrees in a variety of subjects. A university is a corporation that provides both undergraduate education and postgraduate education. The word university is derived from the Latin universitas magistrorum et scholarium, roughly meaning "community of teachers and scholars."

History

Definition

Representation of a university class in the 1350s

The original Latin word "universitas" was used at the time of emergence of urban town life and medieval guilds, to describe specialized "associations of students and teachers with collective legal rights usually guaranteed by charters issued by princes, prelates, or the towns in which they were located." The original Latin word referred to degree-granting institutions of learning in Western Europe, where this form of legal organization was prevalent, and from where the institution spread around the world. For non-related educational institutions of antiquity which did not stand in the tradition of the university and to which the term is only loosely and retrospectively applied, see ancient centers of higher learning.

What university has the most fans and what university makes the most money selling apparel?
Q. So basically, I just want to know statistics on universites to figure out which one has the most fans and I also would like to know which university makes the most money selling university products. I guess what I am trying to find out, and this may be hard to find. Even though it would have to be broken down by states of course, which university has the most fans overall (fan population) and also perhaps some statistics about the overall university incomes. It's sort of a tough question to answer...

A. Everyone's gonna say they're fave team, so I'll tell you this, I don't like College. But Notre Dame makes the most money. Pretty much every game they have ever played was sold out

What is the difference between college and university?
Q. No need to really expand. I just know that most people say they went to college when they mean some undergraduate school above hiskool. But then some say university. Whatz the diff? So if I go to UCLA, university of California Los Angeles, did I go to university and if I go to William Mary College did I also go to university?

A. I don't know that there is a huge difference. I know where I live there is a community college--which is only 2years. you can only get your Associates degree there. Honestly, besides Nursing, an associates doesn't lead to much around where I live anyways. I went to a university, which is a 4 year school to get a bachelors degree. It does offer graduate classes, so I am unsure if it has to offer graduate classes to be a university. The way I differentiate is that I see it as they are all colleges but only ones that offer a Bachelors and on (4years +) would be a university.

How do people transfer from Community Colleges to 4 year University?
Q. Hi, I heard most of community college students transfer from community colleges to University or attend university after their 2 years with Assosiate degree. After completing your first year at community college, can you transfer to universities such as University of Washington with the Assosiate's degree and certain amount of GPA and if so, how much GPA do you need in average? Also, if you complete 2 years of education with Assosiate's degree in Community college, are you pretty much guaranteed to attend 4 year universities such as University of Washington? Thanks for the answers in advance!

A. Make sure the schools are each accredited or else classes at community college may not transfer to the Univ. Get in contact with a counselor at the Univ to make sure that your classes correspond to the major at the Univ. For example: Your AA in Business may not require you to take Accounting II, but your BS in Business probably does...if your community college offers it, take it there!! Most likely it will be a lot easier and cheaper. Most of the time, if you go to a Univ within same state as you received your AA, you are guaranteed to attend, of course your GPA has to be acceptable for the major your are choosing at the Univ.
