The Catholic University of America announced that it has earned the R1 designation for institutes with the “highest levels of research activity,” according to Carnegie Classifications of Institutions of Higher Education, which grants the status.
“Being named an R1 institution affirms what we have long known: That intellectual discovery and a commitment to Catholic identity are mutually supportive,” Catholic University President Peter Kilpatrick said.
Fewer than 5% of universities nationwide have been recognized as R1 institutions. To receive the designation, a university must spend at least $50 million on research and grants and award at least 70 research doctorates yearly.
Catholic University surpassed the goal by granting 94 research doctorates in one year.
