Explanation:
a community college offers 2 year diplomas which are called Associates Degrees. These credits can tehn be transfered to a 4 year school to work towards one's bachelor's degree.

Many people opt for this route as it is less expensive than a full 4 year school.

universidad que otorga grados académicos a nivel licenciatura


Explanation:
A eso se refiere, nivel "Licenciatura" o "Bachelor Level College Degree" como dicen en inglés, en el entendido de que se trata de un mínimo de cuatro años a nivel de estudio superior. Eso es "undergraduate degree", los demás son "graduate degrees" como son maestría (magíster) o doctorado.

Asimismo ofrece carreras cortas como ha quedado explicado ya. Todo eso en USA.

Claro que en todo lo que tiene que ver con la educación siempre existen discrepancias como lo hemos visto, debido a la variación que existe entre países y la dificultad de establecer equivalencias exactas; lo que ofrezco es una solución que ojalá sea válida para muchos países.

universidad que ofrece carreras/títulos de grado


Explanation:
En Argentina por lo menos a los estudios "undergraduate" se los llama de grado y a los "graduate", de post-grado.

El decir que una universidad es degree-granting significa que ofrece la carrera universitaria (al final de la cual, y si se cumplen todos los requisitos academicos, otorga o expdide un titulo).

En español es mas natural decir que se ofrecen carreras o títulos de grado o post-grado (en vez de que se otorgan diplomas).

Suerte!
Ceci :)
