Are both schools called colleges?

Not both schools are called colleges, which has nothing to do with this. Secondary colleges are divided into two different types. First, it refers to the secondary teaching units managed by colleges and universities in ordinary colleges and universities. Second, it refers to an independent secondary college established by ordinary colleges and universities, but operated and managed by a private mechanism, that is, an independent college.

At present, the practice of setting up secondary colleges in colleges and universities is different, but generally it depends on the subject category:

For example, liberal arts, law schools, science schools, medical schools, business schools, information schools and so on. Some are formed by the development of the original department; Some are based on the integration of similar related disciplines in the school; Some schools are merged and integrated according to different disciplines; There are also secondary colleges established according to new disciplines required by social development.
