of Washington Bothell invested a total of $5.74 million into research efforts in 2023 Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching this week released its latest research classifications — and the University of Washington Bothell was named among them as a “Research College and University.”  The category is a new addition to the foundation’s Research Activity Designations, which was announced by the American Council on Education and the Carnegie Foundation on Feb “A highlight of our work to modernize the Carnegie Classification is the new Research Colleges and Universities designation which will shed light on institutions that have engaged in research but historically haven’t been recognized for it,” Ted Mitchell “Instead of limiting research designations to the select institutions that award Ph.D.s all types of colleges and universities will now be celebrated for their research contributions The category’s qualifying investment amount sits at at least $2.5 million per year UW Bothell exceeded this number with a total of $5.74 million in research spending for the fiscal year 2023 “We are proud to offer big university resources and opportunities while providing a close-knit campus experience with small class sizes that invite our students to get to know our expert faculty,” said Chancellor Kristin G “Our faculty do wide ranging and impactful research that
