1. Lots. There are junior colleges that only offer an associates degree. There are liberal arts colleges that offer a bachelor's degree, but usually don't offer graduate degrees. There are schools that offer bachelor's and master's degrees but few PhDs. There are research based schools that offer all degrees.

2. No -- you can only get a two-year degree at a CC or JC.

3. The hardest schools to get into are ones that concentrate on research. These include elite private schools like the Ivies, Stanford, Duke and Chicago -- but also include the elite public universities like Berkeley, Michigan and Virginia.
