An upper division college or university is one that requires applicants to have already completed their first two years of undergraduate study at another institution.[1] These institutions traces their roots to educational ideas put forward in the late 19th and early 20th century. They were developed primarily in the United States during the 1960s in response to the growing number of community college students seeking to continue their education.
