This spring, Clemson met another strategic goal when the Carnegie ClassificationTM released their latest rankings of U.S. colleges and universities. Clemson was classified in the top tier for research activity with the R1 designation of \u201cDoctoral Universities \u2013 Highest Research Activity.\u201d
\nPresident Clements credited the work of faculty over many years and addressed the benefits of the new classification during his report to the trustees in February. \u201cThis recognition raises the University\u2019s national profile and will help us to recruit top faculty and compete successfully for more research funding,\u201d he said. \u201cIn turn, this will support our core mission of education and help us to fulfill our land-grant mission to South Carolina to drive economic growth and solve real problems.\u201d
\nSince 1970, the Carnegie Commission on Higher Education has been providing a framework to describe and recognize different types of educational institutions in the United States. The rankings are determined by a number of statistical measures including research and development expenditures, research staff including postdoctoral appointees, and doctoral conferrals.
