Executive Director, Carnegie Classifications American Council on Education, United States
Join us to learn about the Carnegie Classifications’ most significant overhaul ever. This session will unpack the classifications’ latest updates designed to refocus the field on what should matter most in higher education today: student access and successful outcomes. A spotlight will be on the new Student Access and Earnings Classification, which explores two questions: Who are you serving? And how are your students doing in the job market after they leave? In addition, come learn how the new multidimensional Institutional Classification better captures the wide range of missions and organizational structures that exist today, and how the updated research designations recognize research activity happening at a wide range of institutions. With examples, a live demonstration of our visualization tool, and early insights, this session is for anyone ready to rethink how we define and measure success in higher education.
