- In the United States, a state college or state university is one of the public colleges or universities funded by or associated with the state government. In some cases, these institutions of higher learning are part of a state university system, while in other cases they are not. Several U.S. territories also administer public colleges and universities. Although most of these institutions are associated with state governments, a small number of public institutions are directly funded and governed by the U.S. federal government, including the service academies, the Community College of the Air Force, the Naval Postgraduate School, the Air Force Institute of Technology, the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, military War colleges and staff colleges, and Haskell Indian Nations University. A few universities - George Washington University, Georgetown University, Gallaudet University, Howard University, and American University - are private universities in the District of Columbia that are federally chartered by the United States Government. Most state universities receive at least part of their funding from the state, although many have substantial income from tuition and fees, endowment proceeds, donations (such as from alumni or philanthropists), and revenue from royalties. State universities usually offer lower tuition costs to in-state residents. Substantial financial support is also provided by the federal government, particularly through federal financial aid. In some states, there is a campus designated as the "flagship" campus in the state's university system. The flagship campus is the most prestigious or the one with the largest student population, e.g. the University of Maryland, College Park campus in the University System of Maryland, the Indiana University Bloomington campus in the Indiana University System, and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville campus in the University of Tennessee System. There are a number of states that have more than one university system, e.g. California with 2; Colorado with 2; Indiana with 2; New York with 2; Tennessee with 2; and Texas with 6 (the most). Notes:
* The list includes schools that grant first-professional doctorates only (e.g., medical schools, law schools, or veterinary schools) that are independent of any other school in a state system.
* Satellite campuses that do not have accreditation separate from the mother institution are not included in the list, e.g. University of Washington Tacoma remains an integral part of the University of Washington, which is based in Seattle. On the other hand, institutions like University of Houston–Downtown and University of California, Santa Cruz are provided separate entries as they are considered independent, autonomous institutions.

* Non-bachelor's degree-granting institutions, such as graduate schools, are listed in italics. (en)
- 在美国，州立大学或州立学院是由各州政府资助而成立的高等教育机构，俗称公立大学。在一些情况下，这些公立大学是州立大学系统的成员。有一些美国的海外领地，例如关岛和波多黎各，也拥有州立大学系统。美国联邦政府在一般情况下是不开设公立大学的，只有军校例外，例如軍事學院、海军学院和空军学院等。虽然联邦政府不直接开设公立大学，但会把联邦补助金拨给各州的州立大学系统。所有的州立大学和州立学院，也包括大多数私立大学，都是由美国教育部或其下属的地域分支机构所认定的。大多数州立大学系统的成员学校的资金都至少有一部分是来自联邦补助金和州政府的补助金，其余部分来自学费、项目资金、校友和社会资助。 有一些州，例如马里兰州、田纳西州、印第安纳州和华盛顿州，他们的州立大学系统里会有一所旗舰学校，即主校区。这些旗舰学校一般都是具有高水平的科研和教育实力的名校，也是州立大学系统里规模较大的学校，例如马里兰大学帕克分校是马里兰大学系统的旗舰、印第安纳大学布卢明顿分校是印第安纳大学系统的旗舰，西雅图华盛顿大学是华盛顿州的旗舰等等。然而在其它的一些州里，例如俄勒冈州、罗德岛州和佐治亚州，所有的州立大学系统的成员学校都被同等对待，并无旗舰学校的说法。 在有些州份里，州立大学系统下面还会分出子系统，如加利福尼亚州的州立大学系统下分加州大学系统和加州州立大学系统（该州第三大高等教育系统并不属于州立大学系统）、而德克萨斯州下面则有多达六个子系统，为各州之最。最特殊的为宾夕法尼亚州。该州除了州立大学系统以外，还有四个州关联（State Related）系统，及宾夕法尼亚州立大学系统、匹兹堡大学、天普大学和林肯大学。 (zh)
