"Higher education" to w zasadzie studia czyli "college" lub "university".
College which is a University has a higher rating but you can get same degree
from regular college as you would from university.
Colleges which strive to become universities must fulfil several requirements
which mainly have to do with quality of education.

from Encyclop?dia Britannica:

'an institution that offers post-secondary education. THE TERM IS USED WITHOUT UNIFORMITY OF MEANING.

In Roman law a collegium was a body of persons associated for a common function. The name was used by many medieval institutions? from guilds to the body that elected the Holy Roman emperor.

Secondary schools are sometimes called colleges. England's Winchester and?'

I guess it is safer not to use this word then unless there is a clear context.

Well, lets clear this up once for all:

In US the word college is very popular in describing the broad meaning
of “Higher Education".
I have a college degree could mean: Associate’s degree from two year college or
Bachelor’s four year degree from college or even university.

But lets clear this once for all.

here are the steps of education in US of A:




1. Elementary School -“szkola podstawowa”- Grade one through five.
2. Middle School - “szkola podstawowa”- Grade six through eight
3. High school - “szkola srednia” - Grade nine through twelve.
4. College.
One could go to a two year college to obtain an Associate’s Degree.
Regular college is usually a 4 years and the degree you get from a four
year college is Bachelor’s Degree(BS). Some majors require five or even six
years to obtain BS.
5. With BS you can continue college education and it is called Post Graduate
Educations. You can get Masters and Doctorate Postgraduate Degree.

That's all correct except that in the US the term normally used is _graduate_
education, not _postgraduate_, which is used in Britain. Consequently, master's
and doctoral degrees are usually considered graduate degrees in the US but
postgraduate in Britain.

I have to correct you on that one. They are just as POSTGRADUATE in US as they
are in Great Britain.

No, they are not. Even though they are pretty much the same thing, they are not
usually called _postgraduate_ in the US. When you're studying for a master's or
a PhD, you're in _graduate_ school in the US. There are undergraduates and
graduate students--the term _postgraduate_ is just not used there.

I agree.
Most of the time one would say I am a graduate student, which means a college
graduate with BS working on his Masters.
