Universities in America

The Universities are research oriented institutions which provide both undergraduate and graduate education. (for historical reasons, some universities, such : as Boston College, Dartmouth College, and the College of William & Mary, have retained the term "college," while some institutions granting few graduate degrees, such as Wesleyan University, Graduate programs grant a variety of master's degrees, such as : the Master of Arts (M.A.), Master of Science (M.S.), Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.), or Master of Fine Arts (M.F.A.), in additional to doctorates such as the Ph.D. The Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education distinguishes among institutions on the basis of the prevalence of degrees they grant and considers the granting of master's degrees necessary, though not sufficient, for an institution to be classified as a university.
Some universities have professional schools, which are attended primarily by those who plan to be practitioners instead of academics (scholars/researchers). Examples include journalism school, business school, medical schools (which usually award the M.D.), law schools (J.D.), veterinary schools (D.V.M.), and dental schools. A common practice is to refer to different units within universities as colleges or schools (what is referred to in other countries as faculties). Some departments may be divided into departments: such as an anthropology department within a college of liberal arts and sciences within a larger university.
