Torland has 56 universities and colleges, comprised of 16 public, 15 private, 22 state, and 3 military schools. The history of universities and colleges in Torland is tied directly to colonization and independence efforts surrounding a rapidly growing population. Collegiate athletics in Torland are organized under the banner of Universities of Torland Athletics Commission, which was founded in 1946. The governing body for higher education in Torland is based in Waterdee, Granago.

The first college in Torland was founded in Kirlow in 1801 by European settlers which was named Wingate. Soon after, in 1805, a second college was founded in Portarra called Gavas. These schools were the early pioneers of higher education in Colonial Torland as European settlers began migrating to the new colony.

Other institutions of higher learning began to spring up as nations began to also attempt to colonize the island. Conover was founded in 1809 in Moriga under Spanish rule, along with such colleges as Templeton in Hilversale in 1823, Saint Serra in San Ferrio in 1825, Madford in Barleserta in 1828, and Pantoja in 1829.

Meanwhile, French-Canadian and English settlers in northeast Torland founded two colleges in 1812 with Quebel on the Alrene Isles and Saint Clair in Chasonne 1812. Robinette in Narva followed in 1820. Lecayne was founded in 1833 by French scholars and Catholic missionaries.

The Russian colonies were loathe to commit resources to build infrastructure but Fulcher was founded in Yubay in 1845, while Kimaesee was the product of local learning and grew in Kurohara in 1851. Part of the beginning of western Torland colonists seeking independence founded Bevin in Fort Bevin in 1849, which grew out of a frustration of Russian influence and the desire to train and arm the people. With that in mind, the Torland Military Academy (later called Renfro Prep) was founded in 1850 in Vensessor.
