College

College is an interesting word, rooted in the Latin word 'collegium', a term meaning a gathering of people or a society. This is the same root which gives us the words colleague, collegian, and collegiate. It originally referred to a guild or assembly of people; the earliest mention of the word 'college' being used to refer to a place of study appeared in the 13th century. By the 15th century, colleges were frequently found in European universities, and by the late 19th century had become an established part of North American higher education. In modern usage, the term 'college' is typically applied to institutions which offer both undergraduate and postgraduate education, and to those which grant at least a bachelor's degree. In some contexts, it may also be used to refer to specialized or vocational institutions. Morphologically, the word 'college' is interesting in that it comes from Latin and has undergone significant changes to its spelling and pronunciation to become the English word we use today. Pragmatically, it is interesting in that it has shifted from its original meaning of a guild or assembly of people, to a place of study, to an educational institution that offers undergraduate and postgraduate education.
