1Research universities with a very high level of research activity.
2Research universities with a high level of research activity.
3Institutions that award at least 20 research/scholarship doctor's degrees per year but did not have a high level of research activity.
4Institutions that award at least 50 master's degrees and fewer than 20 doctor's degrees per year.
5Institutions 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 as 2-year baccalaureate/associate's colleges in the Carnegie Classification system because they primarily award associate's degrees.
6Four-year institutions that award degrees primarily in single fields of study, such as medicine, business, fine arts, theology, and engineering.
7Based on the level of institution as defined by the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System, which may occasionally differ from the Carnegie classification’s definition of 2-year institutions.
NOTE: Branch campuses are counted as separate institutions. Relative levels of research activity for research universities were determined by an analysis of research and development expenditures, science and engineering research staffing, and doctor's degrees conferred, by field. Further information on the research index ranking may be obtained from http://carnegieclassifications.acenet.edu. Data are for degree-granting institutions and U.S. service academies. Degree-granting institutions grant associate's or higher degrees and participate in Title IV federal financial aid programs.
