GREAT NEWS! Carnegie Classification for Clark Atlanta University
CAU is classified as a Research University - High Research Activity!!!!!! A discrepancy was discovered between the IPEDS Survey sent by CAU for the Carnegie Classification and the actual number of doctoral degrees conferred by CAU for AY 2003-2004. Academic Year 2003-2004 was the year used to determine the Carnegie Classification. CAU notified The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching that an error was made in the IPEDS Survey and the Carnegie Classification has been changed.

The classification system for American Colleges and Universities was revised and the 2005 sub-categories for doctorate degree-granting institutions are:
Research University (very high research activity), Research University (high research activity), and Doctoral/Research University.
