Question about Providence College
« on: January 19, 2019, 12:01:56 PM »
Why is it a college and not a university?  Is it branding at this point?  My understanding an institution became a university when it has multiple schools or college, which Providence does have a school of business, nursing and other.  Anyone know, or is it do to the small size?

IIRC a university offers graduate programs and a college does not.

I think that has been the traditional distinction, but it has been blurred to the point that name familiarity is now a bigger issue.

FWIW, PC offers grad programs. Not many, but:  https://academics.providence.edu/departments/graduate-programs/

I'm going with branding as a reason, but do not know for sure.

Simple. That's what it has always been. No reason to change, because they now have multiple schools.

Also, can market it as a smaller, more intimate college.

Typically a university confers a PhD in at least one subject.
