Some colleges offer degree programs. These take 4 years to complete.

Community or junior college is equivalent to a Canadian college (technical/trade school).

Why do Americans call universities colleges? It is confusing for us Canadians.
A college has a limited amount of majors to study. A university is a larger college with Many more subjects to get a degree in. At least this is my understanding.

I know of one college in Massachusetts that has been around for many years and just recently became a University because of the increased amount of courses/studies.

oh. And I think college is 2 year, university is 4 year.
