national universities
Federally recognized colleges
National universities are institutions of higher education with broad scope, typically offering undergraduate and graduate programs across many fields, conducting significant research, and drawing students from across a country rather than primarily serving a local region.
The term appears most often in college rankings, where national universities are distinguished from liberal arts colleges and regional institutions.
