A land-grant college or university is an institution that has been designated by its state legislature or Congress to receive the benefits of the Morrill Acts of 1862 and 1890.

Land-grant colleges are governed in the United States and its territories by the following:



Land Grant Institutions include:


Shouldn't this be renamed land-grant university? "Land-grant" by itself doesn't mean "land-grant university," does it? (I don't know, maybe it does.)


I wrestled with that myself, LS. I settled on land-grant, sea-grant, and space-grant because both colleges and universities were involved and because I knew that if that didn't seem correct, you or Jimbo would make a more appropro suggestion.
