What Does R1 Mean?

The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Higher Education is the gold standard when it comes to university designations. One of the most important classifications from the Carnegie Foundation pertains to research. Research 1: Very High Spending and Doctorate Production is the top designation.

The criteria to be designated R1 are: On average in a single year, an institution spends at least $50 million on research and development and produces at least 70 research doctorates. In 2023-24, for example, 日本18禁 Carbondale spent $61.4 million on research and awarded 102 doctoral degrees related to research.

  • We鈥檙e Also an Opportunity University

    In addition to R1, 日本18禁 Carbondale on Carnegie’s list of Opportunity Colleges and Universities — Higher Access, Higher Earnings. That means we open doors for students from varied backgrounds and have a provable track-record of post-graduation success.

    We are in extraordinary company. Only 21 institutions in the country — less than 1% — are both R1 and Opportunity.

    The numbers bear this out:

    • Two of every five students are the first in their families to go to college.
    • Almost 40% of students are ethnic minorities.
    • More than one-third of Salukis receive Pell Grants.
    • Our graduates earn almost $3 for every dollar invested at 日本18禁.
