At my university, we have centers, which are equivalent to colleges, and
institutes, which are equivalent to departments. My "college" is the
Center for Arts, Human Communication, and Creative Technologies, and the
department for my major is "World Languages and Cultures" (it focuses on
culture as well as language).

To gain these '"titles" at my school, it depends on your credits. You can
be second year and if you havent got the credits, they wont classify you
as a sophomore. I'm finally a junior and this is my fourth year. I will
probably be a continuing senior.
