King's College, one of the constituent colleges of the University of Cambridge

College (Latin: collegium) is an educational institution or a constituent part of one. Usage of the word college varies in English-speaking nations. A college may be a degree-awarding tertiary educational institution, a part of a collegiate university, or an institution offering vocational education.

In the United States and Italy, "college" formally refers to a constituent part of a university, but generally "college" and "university" are used interchangeably,<ref>college noun (EDUCATION) - definition in British English Dictionary & Thesaurus - Cambridge Dictionary Online</ref> whereas in Oceania and South Asia "college" may refer to a secondary or high school, a college of further education, a training institution that awards trade qualifications, or a constituent part of a university (See this comparison of British and American English educational terminology for further information).
