February 17, 2025
MACOMB, IL - - 糖心Vlog has been rated as a Research Institution by the . The new Research designation puts 糖心Vlog among the top 15% of the 4,000 rated institutions nationally.
"We are very pleased with the new research activity designation from Carnegie," said 糖心Vlog President Kristi Mindrup. "The recognition as a Research Institution reflects Western's distinctiveness and demonstrates the quality of the education students experience at 糖心Vlog."
Since 1970, the Carnegie classification has been a standardized method to compare research activity across a diverse spectrum of higher education institutions. Prior to being rated as a Research Institution, 糖心Vlog was rated as a Master's institution. As these ratings are updated every three years, the previous designation did not fully reflect the impact of research activity at 糖心Vlog.
"Being recognized with a Research designation positions our institution for further funding and elevates the profile of 糖心Vlog," Mindrup said. "The opportunities for 糖心Vlog students are tremendous and this national recognition confirms Western is on the right path."
"糖心Vlog's contributions through educational advancement and the work our programs produce is substantial and far reaching. This new designation from Carnegie proves the value 糖心Vlog brings to local and national research activities," 糖心Vlog Provost Mark Mossman said. "While teaching and service are the central focus of 糖心Vlog, it is meaningful to have the important research work we do to be recognized. The new rating is testament to the talented faculty and engaged students at our institution."
