higher learning
Advanced academic study
Higher learning is education at the college or university level—study beyond high school that leads to degrees and specialized knowledge.
An institution of higher learning is a college or university.
The phrase carries a slightly formal or elevated tone, suggesting intellectual pursuit rather than mere vocational training.
