college degrees

College degrees are great things for many people. College (Latin: collegium) is a term most often used today to denote an educational institution. More broadly, it can be the name of any group of colleagues, for example, an electoral college, a College of Arms or the College of Cardinals. Originally, it meant a group of persons living together, under a common set of rules (con- = "together" + leg- = "law" or lego = "I choose"); indeed, some colleges call their members "fellows". The precise usage of the term varies among the English-speaking countries. In relation to universities, the term college normally refers to a part of the university which does not have degree-awarding powers in itself. Degrees are always awarded by universities whereas colleges are institutions or organisations which prepare students for the degree. In some cases, colleges prepare students for the degree of a university of which the college is a part (e.g. colleges of the University of London, University of Cambridge, etc.) In other cases, colleges are independent institutions which prepare students to sit as external candidates at other universities or have authority to run courses that lead to the degrees of those universities (e.g. many higher education colleges and university colleges). * The constituent parts of collegiate universities, especially referring to the independent colleges that make up the Universities of Oxford, Cambridge and London.
* The constituent parts of collegiate universities which provide accommodation and pastoral services at St Andrews and Durham. * The constituent parts of collegiate universities, such as Lancaster, York and Kent. * Some universities, such as Imperial College London, which is a university in its own right. Also London School of Economics, University College London and King's College London, which are federal colleges of the University of London, but are also de facto universities in their own right, as they can award their own degrees. * A name given to large groupings of faculties or departments, notably in the University of Edinburgh, and in the future, under restructuring plans, the University of Birmingham. * University colleges — independent higher education institutions that have the power to award degrees, but are not actually universities.
