Peer Institutions

Carnegie Classification Criteria

The has been the leading framework for recognizing and describing institutional diversity in U.S. higher education since 1973. This framework has been widely used in the study of higher education, both as a way to represent and control for institutional differences, and also in the design of research studies to ensure adequate representation of sampled institutions, students or faculty.

澳门五分彩 considers and selects peer institutions based on their relative similarity in the following categories:

  • Control: Public
  • Level: Four-year or above
  • Doctoral universities, higher research activity
  • Professions plus arts & sciences, high graduate coexistence
  • Research doctoral, comprehensive programs, no medical/veterinary school
  • High undergraduate
  • Four-year, full-time, selective, higher transfer-in
  • Four-year, large, primarily residential
  • Total enrollment; total research expenditures; and total doctoral degrees awarded
