  Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education is a report classifying all accredited degree-granting colleges and universities in the United States.
The Carnegie Classification has been prepared by the The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching (hereafter referred to as "The Carnegie Foundation") since 1973; reports were issued in that year, 1976, 1987, 1994, and 2000.
Institutions were determined to have a special focus with concentrations of at least 80 percent of undergraduate and graduate degrees.

 International Higher Education--26/1
In 2000, the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching published an interim revision of the classification in which the categories were reduced in number with the aim of emphasizing the teaching function in higher education.

Carnegie is now considering a different approach to classification, focusing on what it perceives to be the main functions of higher education—especially emphasizing teaching and trying to capture the service function of academic institutions.

 Classification of Community and Two-Year Colleges: ERIC Digest
For example, an output-based schema may be most important to a high school graduate searching for an institution that will help her to transfer to a four-year college, and a system based on characteristics might be more useful to a researcher attempting to compile a national data set about part-time faculty at two-year institutions.
Therefore, he proposes a classification scheme in which the main criterion is college size, as it is the most distinguishing characteristic of public two-year colleges.
She found that institutional enrollment emerged as the most powerful predictor of the percentage of liberal arts courses offered at a college, whereas high instructional expenditures, auxiliary revenues, and expenditures per student were all associated with institutions that focus on occupational training and certification.
