4-YEAR COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES |
Four-year colleges and universities offer undergraduate and graduate programs, depending on the institution's mission. For example, primarily liberal arts colleges offer bachelor's degrees; universities offer bachelor's and some master's degrees; and research universities offer bachelor's, master's, and doctoral/first professional degrees. Not every degree program is available at every institution. Many institutions have extended education offices that make courses, programs, and services available in nontraditional, more flexible modes; e.g., computer-delivered courses, interactive video courses, evening courses, weekend college, and international programs. Information on campus life, admissions requirements/procedures, registration, residence, degree programs, course schedules, and faculty is available by visiting (clicking on) the sites below.
