1 Excludes institutions with no enrollment reported separately from the enrollment of an associated main campus.

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 research/scholarship 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 and fewer than 20 doctor's degrees per year.

6 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 Classification system because they primarily award associate's degrees.

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

8 Institutions that award less than 30 percent of their awards in career and technical programs.

9 Institutions that award 30 to 49 percent of their awards in career and technical programs.

10 Institutions that award 50 percent or more of their awards in career and technical programs.

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/.
