Tej Kohli explains how to differentiate a college from a university. Read on to know more….

In the America, the word School denotes any place where people come to learn. A college or a university can be called a school. The word school stands for any English language institute, graduate program or high school.

College or university follows after high-school. In the US, a college is not a secondary school or high-school. All the college and university courses start in the thirteenth year of the school, when a student reaches 17 or maybe 18 years of age. A two-year college gets you an Associate’s degree, while a foure year program or university gets you a bachelor’s degree. Colleges or universities that offer these degrees are known as ‘undergraduate schools’.

A university is a larger school with multiple colleges and offer courses which can be pursued after secondary education. Every university has at least one college where students can acquire a bachelor’s degree. The other schools are generally “graduate” aka “postgraduate” schools where students can acquire advanced or specialized degrees. Hence, a university provides both the bachelor’s degree and graduate degrees like the LLM and Ph.D.

A bachelor’s degree can be earned at either a university or a college. However, the US students prefer calling it a ‘college’ ratjer than university when referring to the the four-year undergraduate program and the bachelor’s degree. You will often hear them say ‘going to college’ and ‘college degree’ when they talk about undergraduate programs at either a university or a college.

Most colleges are independent schools which are isolated from the university campus. A few colleges are a part of the university and are located within the university campus. Some colleges offer graduate programs in selected majors. But usually it is the universities where students can do graduate programs. Therefore, most Americans use the word “university” instead of “college” when they talk about graduate programs.

Conclusion

The US students use the word “college ” while referring to undergraduate programs, and the word “university” when talking about the graduate programs.

Tej Kohli talks about the blossoming educational opportunities in UAE.

Opportunities to study in the UAE has grown since the Federation came into being, when only a handful of the urban populace has access to formal education.

At the moment, UAE offers a complete education package to all students, right from kindergarten to the university with free education for citizens all all levels. You’ll also find a comprehensive private education sector, where thousands of promising students, both males and females, pursue their higher education from abroad and that too at the expense of government.

“With a sound educational infrastructure already in place, the primary focus is now on devising and implementing strategies that will equip the young generation to cope the stress and meet challenges of the 21st century workplace.” says Mr. Tej Kohli, founder of the Ozone Real Estate Group.

The Education system in UAE comprises of several educational institutions like schools, colleges and universities. Plus, there are a variety of training institutes that offer vocational courses and other professional qualification and training programs in diverse fields. Every institute is different and so are their objectives, structure and admission criteria.

UAE has some government universities and colleges too where only citizens can take admission. Private institutions on the other hand accept all students who meets the admission requirements.

You may enroll for any program of your choice. The scope of programs may range from technical, academic and professional degrees in several disciplines.

Tej Kohli blog for study places in US brings a broad insight into Certificate/ Diploma Programs in the US. If you’re planning enroll for one, equip yourself with this general information first.

Although certificate or diploma programs are quickly gaining popularity as alternatives for professional training and development, many people still don’t know exactly what they are and how they work. Tej Kohli study blog will provide you with a brief description and tips on issues to be considered when selecting these kinds of programs.

What are Certificate or Diploma Programs?

Certificate/diploma programs are a series of classes focusing on both theory and practice in a particular field. They are not as broad as degree programs and they usually concentrate on a particular area. For example, in an undergraduate degree program in business, the student will study in depth a broad range of areas such as marketing, accounting, finance, human resources, organizational behavior, production, economics, and several others. Under a certificate program, on the other hand, he/she will concentrate his/her studies in a specific area. For example, in a marketing certificate/diploma program the curriculum will include topics such as consumer behavior, marketing research, marketing strategy, international marketing, internet marketing and others. These are all different topics related to one specific area. Some certificate programs also offer an overview of several different areas.

While some universities refer to their programs as certificate programs, others call them diploma programs. There is not a commonly adopted criterion to differentiate them. In general, a diploma program is required to provide a certain minimum number of instruction hours and are longer in duration. However, you may find two schools with similar programs in curriculum and duration, but one of them defining the program as a certificate program and the other calling it a diploma program.

What kind of audiences attend these programs, and when are the classes being offered?

Some certificate/diploma programs are designed primarily for a local audience (Americans) but enrollments are also open to international participants. These programs are more likely to have a majority of local residents and the classes are offered in the evening (during the week) and on weekends (daytime).

Other certificate/diploma programs are designed primarily for an international audience. In this case, most of the participants are non-Americans and classes are scheduled during the daytime every day of the week. Because of that, the schedule tends to be more intense than the evening courses, and participants are able to learn a lot more within the same period of time. Some schools refer to this kind of schedule as “intensive format” or “accelerated programs.”

Which department is responsible for offering the certificate/diploma program?

The certificate/diploma programs are offered in most cases by the Extension Department (sometimes also called the School of Continuing Education). At some institutions, however, the certificate/diploma programs are offered by the schools within a university (such as School of Business, School of Law, etc.). Still some certificate/diploma programs may be offered by the Extension Department in cooperation with one of the schools.
