We call them technical schools here. You get highly focused professional degrees in two year schools and more versatile (but more expensive) degrees in four year schools. One of the local technical schools just broke ground on a new campus down the road: http://onlineathens.com/local-news/2013-06-25/barrow-schools-lanier-tech-break-ground-joint-campus http://onlineathens.com/local-news/2013-06-25/barrow-schools... The main campus for Lanier Tech (2 year school) is right next to the four year Gainesville State College, and they have a credit transfer agreement. They rarely have sports programs on the level of a university.
