That's not what "college" means in the United States. "College" is a synonym with "University." There is sometimes some word usage where the connotations can be different, but rarely, and in particular, there's no difference in the notion of "university level courses" and "college level courses."
- Steko 14y agoGenerally the difference is that a college will offer undergraduate programs and universities offer both undergraduate and graduate degrees.
- leephillips 14y agoThis is doubly confusing in the case of Dartmouth College, which is actually a university (I got my physics Ph.D. there - and they have a medical school, a prominent MBA school, etc.) but is called a "College" for interesting historical reasons involving Daniel Webster.
