A faculty is a division within a university or college comprising one subject area, or a number of related subject areas.

In American usage such divisions are generally referred to as colleges (e.g., "college of arts and sciences") or schools (e.g., "school of business"), but may also mix terminology (e.g., Harvard University has a "faculty of arts and sciences" but a "law school").

In its widest use, student is used for anyone who is learning, including mid-career adults who are taking vocational education or returning to university.

When speaking about learning outside an institution, "student" is also used to refer to someone who is learning a topic or who is "a student of" a certain topic or person.

An alumnus (masculine, plural alumni), an alumna (feminine, plural alumnae), or an alumnum (neuter, plural alumna) is a former student or pupil of a school, college, or university.
