Sorry for being anonymous...
...but there is a problem with my log-in and I don't know why

Anyway, I'd be happy if you would answer my question
If I want to say that my father is a university professor (and I don't mention the university's name), what can I say:
a) He teaches political sciences at a university.
b) He teaches political sciences at the university.
c) He teaches political sciences at university.
Thank you!

Thanks for your answer! Would it be acceptable to say university in American English or does it "have to" be college? So would a sentence like "My father teaches at a college" be correct in American English?
