1 Excludes 13 institutions that had no enrollment.

2 Research universities with a very high level of research activity.

3 Research universities with a high level of research activity.

4 Institutions that award at least 20 doctor's degrees per year, but did not have a high level of research activity.

5 Institutions that award at least 50 master's degrees per year.

6 Institutions that primarily emphasize undergraduate education. Also includes institutions classified as 4-year under the IPEDS system, which had been classified as 2-year in the Carnegie system because they primarily award associate's degrees.

7 Four-year institutions that award degrees primarily in single fields of study, such as medicine, business, fine arts, theology, and engineering.

NOTE: Degree-granting institutions grant associate’s or higher degrees and participate in Title IV federal financial aid programs. Relative levels of research activity for research universities were determined by an analysis of research and development expenditures, science and engineering research staffing, and doctoral degrees conferred, by field. Further information on the research index ranking may be obtained from http://carnegieclassifications.iu.edu/.
