Lookup & Listings


These tools provide access to institution listings and to each institution's summary display, which provides basic descriptive information plus the institution's classification profile.

From any listing, users can:
  • view the institution display by clicking its name
  • sort the listing according to name, control, or location by clicking the column heading
  • filter the listing according to level, control, accreditation, state, region, urbanicity, or population served by clicking "filter results" at the top of the listing
  • render the listing in printer-friendly format (opens in a new window)
  • download the listing in CSV format (which can be opened in a spreadsheet program, such as Excel).
Standard Listings
Generate a list of institutions organized by single classification category. (For a spreadsheet file containing all institutions and all classifications, see Downloads.)
Go to Standard Listings »

Custom Listings
Generate a custom list of institutions by selecting a combination of classifications and categories, using OR logic within each classification (combines categories) and AND logic between them (finds similarly classified institutions across two or more classifications).

Institution Lookup
Find a particular institution by keyword or by first letter. In addition to descriptive information and classifications, the institution display offers some custom listing functionality through check boxes and a "find similar" button. However, Custom Listings provides greater flexibility because users can aggregate categories within classifications.

Future Update
Carnegie Foundation to update all-inclusive Classifications in 2010.
Please Note
All-inclusive classifications are time-specific snapshots of institutional attributes and behavior based on data from 2003 and 2004. Institutions might be classified differently using a different timeframe.
