Universitato

Universitato is a term used in the context of higher education, particularly in the Philippines. It is a portmanteau of the words "university" and "college," reflecting the dual nature of the institution. Universitates typically offer both undergraduate and graduate programs, providing a comprehensive educational experience. These institutions are often known for their diverse range of academic disciplines, including arts, sciences, business, and engineering. Universitates in the Philippines are governed by the Commission on Higher Education (CHEd), which oversees their operations and ensures they meet the required standards for quality education. The term "universitato" is not widely used internationally but is specific to the educational landscape in the Philippines.
