Georgia Southern University has been elevated to an \u201cR2\u201d\nhigh research institution in the revised 2018 Carnegie Classification of\nInstitutions of Higher Learning. It is the second-highest classification for\nresearch institutions in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Carnegie ranked 4,424 universities and\ncolleges \u2013 public and private, both for profit and not for profit. Of those,\n120 were classified as R1 or Doctoral Universities: Very High Research \nActivity, and 139 \u2013 including Georgia\nSouthern \u2013 were designated as R2 or Doctoral Universities: High\nResearch Activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis says our faculty have been doing a good job,\u201d said Carl L. Reiber, Ph.D., Georgia Southern\u2019s provost and vice president for academic affairs. \u201cThis is a great accomplishment. From a national perspective, it really does put us in a different league. This will say a lot about who we are to prospective students and faculty.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reiber said last year Georgia Southern spent\nabout $17.5 million on research to\nsupport the University\u2019s broader educational goals and in support of the region\u2019s needs. The elevated ranking of\nan R2 came after computing those\nexpenditures with the number of doctoral degrees awarded.
