In the main, colleges offer undergraduate degrees, such as associate & bachelor, while universities offer undergraduate (aforementioned), graduate degrees, such as masters, as well as post-graduate degrees, such as doctorate. Additionally, university also offers a wider diversity of specialty within a degree program.
For example, I persued an associate in liberal arts at community college, bachelor(s) {social science & physical science} of science in the college of arts & science, a bachelor {civil engineering} of science in the college of engineering, a masters {business administration} in the school of business, etc. (yes I completed all).
There also exists specialty/training programs within these institutions, such as NIMS for emergency management, FM/Chief for fire academy, CLS for Red Cross, etc. The distinctions can sometimes blur at various institutions but in the main, the aforementioned holds.

BEST!
