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

2 Research universities with a high level of research activity.

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

4 Institutions that award at least 50 master's degrees and fewer than 20 doctor's degrees per year.

5 Institutions that primarily emphasize undergraduate education. In addition to institutions that primarily award bachelor's degrees, also includes institutions classified as 4-year in the IPEDS system, but classified as 2-year baccalaureate/associate's colleges in the Carnegie system because they primarily award associate's degrees.

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

7 Nonresident alien enrollment percentages based on total enrollment in the institution, rather than on the U.S. resident enrollment.

NOTE: 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/. Includes imputed Carnegie classifications for institutions with missing data. Degree-granting institutions grant associate’s or higher degrees and participate in Title IV federal financial aid programs. Race categories exclude persons of Hispanic ethnicity.
