Harvard University, Boston College, University of Wisconsin are examples of which broad category?

Classification of higher education institutions. Harvard University, Boston College, and the University of Wisconsin are all postsecondary education providers that offer undergraduate and graduate programs and award degrees. That places them in the broad category of schools, colleges and universities. They are not museums (which preserve artifacts), not athletic conferences (which organize sports), and not government agencies (which are part of government). Sometimes schools have “college” in the name but function as universities with a wide range of programs.
