An institute is a permanent organizational body created for a certain purpose. Often it is a research organization (research institution) created to do research on specific topics. An institute can also be a professional body.

In some countries institutes can be part of a university or other institution of higher education, either as a group of departments or an autonomous educational institution without a classic full university status such as a University Institute. See Institute of Technology.

The word comes from the Latin word institutum meaning facility or habit; from instituere meaning build, create, raise or educate.

In some countries, such as South Korea and Japan, private schools are sometimes called institutes, rather than schools.

In the United Kingdom the title 'Institute' is a protected word and companies or other organisations may only use that word if they are "organisations which are carrying out research at the highest level or to professional bodies of the highest standing". Furthermore, if a company is carrying on a business under a different name to the company name, that business name must comply with the Business Names Act. Use of the title 'Institute' requires approval from the Secretary of State. Failure to seek approval is a criminal offence.

A. Do not get trapped into semantics. Years ago, an organization named "National Institute of Purchasing management" (NAPM) changed its identity to "The institute of Supply Management". They deal with most of the problems related to purchasing. At the Federal Government Level, "purchasing" has become an obsolete term, replaced by "acquisition" and "procurement" . While some scoff at the ability of government to accomplish things, often overlooked is the fact that, for the most part, what is not recognized is the fact that the big G buys almost everything and is a huge customer. Hence the have to maintain "the best" methods of supply chain management. There are many courses conducted by Federal Agencies in coordination with Universities and… [cont.]

A. I attend the AI in Denver and it's very intense, you will learn all sorts of things about photography. I could type all night about the school(s) but let me just stop and say this, it's expensive so if you do go to it, make sure you try your hardest. The field of photography is tough, and if your not at the top of your class you could be blowing away $100,000 or more. Mountains of homework Difficult assignments -- and they can't just be technically correct, they have to be artistic too! Social life--- hahahahaaa it's over!
