This is starting to sound like "my dad is bigger than your dad".

I was more interested in the general state of college education than a specific school. I wonder if degrees are given that don't belong in a college setting, or if they ignore disciplines that should be included.

And I don't mean that someone hands out a degree in "Diversity Studies" or some other meaningless doublespeak. I mean, should things like engineering and veterinary medicine be colleges or trade schools?

They already are professional schools. In order to get a doctoral degree in medicine, veterinary medicine, dentistry, or to get an advanced degree in engineering, you MUST have completed an undergraduate college degree already. A college degree is an absolute prerequisite for admission to these schools.
