The next Carnegie classifications of colleges, due in the spring of 2025, will label colleges by whether they’re low or high access, and whether students earn low or high incomes after they leave. This will be the first time that the closely watched classifications will consider who goes to a college and the college’s student outcomes.
The change “will give folks that use these classifications a smarter way of thinking about which institutions are doing a good job of serving students,” said Mushtaq Gunja, executive director of the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education.
