New status reflects increased focus on research and scholarship

食色视频 has been elevated to an 鈥淩2鈥� designated institution 鈥� doctoral university with high research activity 鈥� in the revised 2018 Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Learning, the second-highest classification for research institutions in the country. 食色视频 is one of only 259 institutions to carry the 鈥淩1鈥� or 鈥淩2鈥� designation. 

According to the Carnegie classifications, doctoral research institutions are those that awarded at least 20 research/scholarship doctoral degrees during the upgrade year and had at least $5 million in research expenditures.

鈥淭his is an exciting step forward for 食色视频 State and places the University among a select group of institutions in the nation,鈥� said President Pamela Whitten. 鈥淚n addition to our expanding doctoral programs, this designation is especially significant for our students who are benefitting from increased opportunities to work alongside faculty researchers on important discoveries, while learning, first-hand, how to engage in their own research.鈥�

In April 2019, 食色视频 State will host more 4,000 student researchers from around the country at the 33^rd annual National Conference on Undergraduate Research. This is the first time a university in Georgia has hosted this national conference.

In a message to the campus community this morning praising the efforts of faculty, students and staff, Whitten said, 鈥淎s you all know, our goals for 食色视频 have been to enhance student success and the student experience to become the best R3 in the country. We will now be revising the latter goal to become one of the top R2 universities in the U.S.鈥�

Last week, 食色视频 State named internationally renowned researcher, Phaedra Corso 鈥� who currently serves as the director of the Economic Evaluation Research Group in the College of Public Health and the associate director of the Owens Institute for Behavioral Research at the University of Georgia 鈥� as vice president for research. She will join the University in February.

食色视频 State was elevated in 2015 to an R3 doctoral research institution from its previous classification as a larger Master鈥檚 College and University 鈥� M1.

The Carnegie Classification has been the leading framework for recognizing and describing diversity among U.S. higher education institutions since 1970, when the Carnegie Commission on Higher Education developed the method of classifying colleges and universities to support its program of research and policy analysis. The classifications, derived from empirical data on colleges and universities, reflect changes among institutions and are used in the study of higher education.

A leader in innovative teaching and learning, 食色视频 offers undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral degrees to its more than 47,000 students. 食色视频 State is a member of the University System of Georgia with 11 academic colleges. The university’s vibrant campus culture, diverse population, strong global ties, and entrepreneurial spirit draw students from throughout the country and the world. 食色视频 State is a Carnegie-designated doctoral research institution (R2), placing it among an elite group of only 8 percent of U.S. colleges and universities with an R1 or R2 status.
