<p>This might not be the right section to post this, but I'm curious for several universities I've seen that they have different schools for different majors. For example, Duke has the college of Arts and Sciences and the Pratt School of Engineering. Are the students divided up, and are the campuses seperated? Could someone explain this better to me please?</p>
<p>Even though they are different “colleges,” it’s more akin to different departments. Like in high school, you might have the math department and the language department, but all the students are students of the high school and all the classes are in the same building (more or less). </p>
<p>The different departments might just have different grading policies, professors, and maybe buildings. But for the most part they will be on the same campus.</p>
<p>Some schools though, like Michigan, actually have some of the colleges kinda divided. The biggie is engineering which is on a different campus (North Campus) than LSA (Central Campus). Of course, music and art also piggie back on engineering and they have some stuff up here too.</p>
<p>Some of it may also be functionality.</p>
<p>At my school (wustl), the undergrad ‘schools’ are all on the same campus. But they all have separate administration, offices, $$$, buildings (that they ‘loan out’ to other schools for classrooms occasionally), etc.</p>
