CSUN’s Research Recognized in New Carnegie Classification
CSUN’s commitment to research is now formally recognized by The American Council on Education (ACE) and the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching (Carnegie Foundation). Carnegie Classifications are a framework for organizing colleges and universities in the United States according to the types of degrees they award and their related activities, namely, research.
CSUN, along with other CSU institutions, are now part of a new “Research College or University” or “RCU” designation from ACE and the Carnegie Foundation. The new category is for those schools that do not offer doctoral degrees or those that have a limited number of such programs. The new “RCU” designation includes colleges and universities that spend at least $2.5 million dollars in research, on average, in a single year.
At CSUN, mentored research opportunities are available in all disciplines to both undergraduate and graduate students. For the breadth of subjects, check out CSUN Newsroom for a variety of articles and media releases.
