University of Lynchburg Transformation

[ss20ts]

South College offers graduate degrees including doctoral degrees. The college versus university does not mean a whole lot in the US. In some states, there are laws regulating the use of the words. NY recently made a change so several colleges renamed themselves as they were finally eligible to be called university. They had been offering graduate degrees for many years but not enough programs to be considered a university. That changed and we saw colleges like EC become EU. I can think of at least 6 colleges that changed their name because of this revision in the law. All of them did not change their name even though they were able to.
