Midwestern University's Glendale campus recently earned the Research Colleges and Universities designation from the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education.
Midwestern University announced April 22 that both its Downers Grove, Ill., and Glendale, campuses have earned the newly introduced Research Colleges and Universities designation in the latest update of the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education.
This recognition highlights Midwestern University’s commitment to advancing healthcare education and research.
Developed by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, the Carnegie Classification has been a leading framework for categorizing U.S. colleges and universities for more than five decades.
The 2025 update introduces the Research Colleges and Universities designation to recognize institutions with significant research activity that do not primarily grant research doctorates. To qualify, institutions must spend at least $2.5 million annually on research and development.
"Midwestern University has committed to strategically investing in resources and initiatives which support and incentivize our faculty. Using that springboard, our incredibly talented and dedicated faculty members have been the engine driving all of our research achievements, including our institution being listed in the latest Carnegie Classification as a Research University," stated James Woods, Ph.D., assistant vice president of research, in a press release.
Specializing in health professions education, Midwestern University continues to expand its research capabilities. The RCU designation highlights its contributions to scientific discovery and the training of future healthcare professionals who collaborate with faculty mentors on research projects.
