It's not what people mean when they ask if you went to college though.

If they are accredited, they still have a substantial liberal arts component.
An Associates degrees is college, and is normed at two years.
> The reason for a four-year degree is that you spend two years doing courses from other areas (inc. your own)
While some, especially liberal arts, four year degrees work that way, that's not really generally true except at the level of looseness in the meaning of “other areas (inc. your own)” where it is essentially tautologically true of any course of study. Many engineering programs, for instance, are intensely focussed on the central focus from day one.
