In fact, the main difference between ordinary colleges and universities lies in their scale, which is not as big as that of universities, and their majors are not as good as that of universities. So now many colleges are actively trying to set up majors and strive to turn colleges into universities.

Few schools come directly from universities, but they all come out step by step. Like my school, it was formerly the local Institute of Meteorology. Later, it changed its name and became a decent university.

A college has only one major. For example, only medical majors are called medical schools. The university has many majors, such as social security and chemistry. Of course, this is just a qualification. Whether to call a university or just a college requires the approval of the Ministry of Education.

Some people will feel this way: "the school will be promoted to two, and the junior college will not be a university in the end. It still sounds uncomfortable. "

I just want to say that the quality of a school has nothing to do with its name. Isn't a junior college inferior to a university? It doesn't have to be like this. For example, some schools are colleges, but they are better than many universities. It's just that the schools are all financial majors and have never been promoted to a university. In fact, most of the two colleges are excellent in some aspects. Some colleges in the two universities are excellent, while others are mediocre. So you can apply for the strong subject of that university in the second university. University colleges can't decide whether a school is good or bad.

Baoshan College of Southeast University, Chengxian College, Jinling College of Nanjing University and Zhengwen College of Suzhou University ... These colleges are two very good schools, and there is no need for some universities to be poor.

Theoretically speaking, the qualifications of junior colleges are slightly worse than those of universities. To give a simple example, a person wants to develop morally, intellectually, physically and intellectually in an all-round way, while a college is only slightly specialized in one aspect. The school that comes second in other aspects is called junior college. Therefore, the enrollment score is lower than that of universities, and the scale is relatively small. Teachers only pay attention to one aspect, which is relatively weak compared with a university.

Yes, two of them are mostly called colleges and one is generally called universities, which is also the status quo of the name of higher education in China. Anyone who is called a college actively strives to upgrade to a university. According to the level of universities, there are more than 30 985 universities at the deputy ministerial level, and hundreds of other universities are main halls, two are main halls, and only vocational and technical colleges are deputy halls. A university and two colleges are at the same level. Universities give people the impression that they are inferior, have a bad reputation, and are not as high as universities.

It's different abroad. Generally speaking, schools are all comprehensive universities, such as Harvard University, Yale University, Cambridge University and Oxford University. Some colleges with industry characteristics, such as Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Indian Institute of Technology, are the best science and engineering schools and the schools that science and engineering students dream of. I want to say that the name of the school is not important, what matters is a title. It is important to teach good students and cultivate outstanding talents, and students can get social recognition.

Not only we feel this way, but also the leaders of some colleges feel this way. They also want to be promoted from junior college to junior college and from junior college to university. In this way, not only the students are good, but also the leadership level is improved. But I think in academic research, colleges are not necessarily lower than universities. As for what kind of university can be called a university and what kind of university can be called a college, several netizens have given a very detailed and correct explanation, so I won't go into details. I combine the answers of several netizens to talk about my own views:

I forgot before: there is no university doctor for a master's degree, but a doctor for a university.

This view is a bit absolute. Not all colleges have doctoral programs, and not all universities have doctoral programs.

For example, the Central Academy of Drama and other universities are named after the college. However, in the fourth round of national discipline evaluation on 20 17, the evaluation results of drama and film and television in the Central Academy of Drama, Beijing Film Academy and Shanghai Theatre Academy were A-, which was higher than some universities, and all three colleges had the right to award doctoral degrees.

For example, Hebei University of Science and Technology is named after a university, and it has been renamed as a university for nearly 20 years. However, according to the official information of the school, the right to confer doctoral degrees has not been granted so far.

Therefore, it cannot be generalized that "there is no doctor for a master's degree in a university, but there is a doctor in a university."

It's better to miss each other than to meet each other: the junior college is only one level lower than the university and gradually upgraded to the university.

A junior college is not necessarily one level lower than a university, especially academically, and it may not catch up with the wave of "upgrading" and "upgrading". In 20 17, drama and film studies of the central academy of drama was also recognized as a "double-first-class" world-class discipline construction university by the degree and postgraduate education development center of the Ministry of Education. Can it be said that it is lower than some universities?

American universities and colleges are at the same level and have their own characteristics. American colleges are small, but elite education ... and China University is really superior to colleges. This is a fact. Colleges in China are not smaller than some universities. Please don't take MIT as an example of a college. People are really elite education to compete with universities. Colleges in China are large in scale, enrolling more students and making more money.

In my opinion, if colleges in China want to surpass universities, they must adopt the way of elite education, and the number of students should be limited. For example, if there are more than 5,000 college students, then the number of colleges cannot exceed 1500, or even 1000. Only in this way can China's colleges get out of the predicament of bad schools, recruit elites, catch up with Tsinghua Peking University and even occupy a place in the world.

Of course, the initial development of the college will be very difficult, with few funds and talents, and it will not be able to recruit elite students ... But think about it, just like starting a business, after a difficult period, the road ahead will be easy ... If you can't recruit elites, you will train ordinary students into elites, use less funds, and then focus on talent training ... As long as you are famous, you will not be able to recruit elite students, let alone implement elite education. I believe there will always be some students who will become.

The master's degree in colleges and universities does not have a doctorate, but the university has a doctorate.

The college is medium in scale and the university is large in scale.

The college campus is small and the university campus is big.

Due to local differences, it is impossible to generalize.
