Anotations

Scope note:

Educational institutions distinguished from "universities" by traditionally providing training for technicians in business, industry, and commerce for an immediate local area, having fewer residence facilities, and offering more part-time classes. For educational institutions emphasizing training in agriculture or specific trades, use "vocational schools."
