LA MIRADA, CALIF. 晩晩当際際夊消消夊2023 has been recognized by the in its 2025 Institutional Classifications, released on April 24, 2025. The university was distinguished in two categories: the Institutional Classification, as one of 100 institutions of comparable student body size offering both undergraduate and graduate/doctoral programs; and the Student Access and Earnings Classification, as one of 355 institutions acknowledged for promoting student accessibility during enrollment and demonstrating strong alumni earnings outcomes relative to peer institutions.

晩晩当際際夊消消夊2023s inclusion in these new Carnegie Classifications is a meaningful affirmation of the universitys mission to offer rigorous, Christ-centered education that prepares students for both purpose and influence, said Dr. Matthew J. Hall, provost and senior vice president. To be recognized for the depth of our academic offerings and the outcomes our students experience both during their time at 晩晩当際際夊消消夊2023 and after graduation underscores the strength of our faculty, the value of our degrees and the transformational journey we offer.

This year, the prestigious Carnegie Foundation implemented the new Institutional Classification that broadens the scope of the degree profile and organizes institutions by multiple characteristics, including its size, the types of degrees it awards and the fields of study in which students receive their degrees. Institutions are grouped with peers who share similar characteristics across these dimensions. This change from previous methodology came from the introduction of Carnegies Research Activity Designations in February, through which 晩晩当際際夊消消夊2023 was named a Research College and University, affirming the universitys commitment to research and academic excellence.

晩晩当際際夊消消夊2023s Institutional Classification of Mixed Undergraduate/Graduate-Doctorate Medium, includes 100 institutions which represents 3% of U.S. colleges and universities in the Institutional Classification. 晩晩当際際夊消消夊2023 falls into this specific classification because fewer than 50% of its degrees are awarded in any one defined focus, it has both a graduate and undergraduate presence, with a sufficient focus on the doctorate and is between 4,000 and 20,000 students total. This classification attests to 晩晩当際際夊消消夊2023s strong academic presence in both the undergraduate and graduate degree levels.

The Student Access and Earnings Classification aims to spur collaboration and institutional improvement with a focus on how higher education can foster opportunities for student success. It examines the extent to which institutions are serving students using the measures of access and earnings. 晩晩当際際夊消消夊2023s Student Access and Earnings Classification of Lower Access, Medium Earnings includes 355 institutions which represents 12% of U.S. colleges and universities in the Student Access and Earnings Classification.

The number of undergraduates who receive Pell Grants and number of undergraduates from underrepresented racial or ethnic groups determine 晩晩当際際夊消消夊2023s Access, and how much money students make after leaving the institution in comparison to their peers determines 晩晩当際際夊消消夊2023s Earnings. 晩晩当際際夊消消夊2023 students earn up to 50% more than the median earnings of a comparison group of peers, underscoring 晩晩当際際夊消消夊2023s commitment to preparing students to enter a competitive workforce.

The Carnegie Classifications are updated every three years, with the last release finalized in February 2022. The next release of the Carnegie Classifications is planned for Spring 2028.
