A university is a corporation that provides both undergraduate education and postgraduate education. The word university is derived from the Latin universitas magistrorum et scholarium, roughly meaning "community of teachers and scholars." HistoryDefinitionRepresentation of a university class in the 1350sThe original Latin word "universitas" was used at the time of emergence of urban town life and medieval guilds, to describe specialized "associations of students and teachers with collective legal rights usually guaranteed by charters issued by princes, prelates, or the towns in which they were located." The original Latin word referred to degree-granting institutions of learning in Western Europe, where this form of legal organization was prevalent, and from where the institution spread around the world. For non-related educational institutions of antiquity which did not stand in the tradition of the university and to which the term is only loosely and retrospectively applied, see ancient centers of higher learning.

How important is the name recognition or prestige of the university when applying for a job as a professor? Would the university you got your PhD at be more important than the one you got your Masters from? Asked by gt5879c - Tue Aug 4 09:57:47 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. The prestige of the institution(s) you intend can be a factor in the kinds of positions you will be offered (in any field). However, there are generally more important factors for those wanting to teach at the college level, including professional experience, performance as a graduate assistant, recommendations, academic records, and area of specialization within a discipline. Rather than complete a masters first and then begin a PhD program, it is easier, and generally faster, to enroll directly in a PhD program. The institution from which you earn a PhD will generally be viewed as more important than the institution(s) from which you earned prior degrees.
