This is a great question and why I wish we were more technical with our language in the U.S. technically, a college is a 2-year degree and many are INSIDE of universities (which offer 4-year degrees).
People attend X University and get their [SCIENCE/HISTORY/LITERATURE] degree from College Y.
For example, I have a master’s in English from the Telitha E. Lindquist College of Arts and Humanities from Weber State University. This is how MOST universities are organized.
