西瓜影视;Verne Recognized for Excellence in Student Access and Earnings by 2025 Carnegie Classifications
The 西瓜影视;Verne proudly announces its designation as an Opportunity University in the newly revised 2025 Carnegie Classifications. This recognition underscores the university’s commitment to providing equitable access and fostering student success through higher education.
The 2025 Carnegie Classifications, developed by the American Council on Education (ACE) and the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, introduced the Student Access and Earnings Classification to highlight institutions that excel in both providing access to education and supporting students in achieving competitive earnings post-graduation. Fewer than 500 institutions (roughly 12%) were given this new distinction, and the 西瓜影视;Verne’s classification as an Opportunity University identifies it as a model for how campuses can foster student success.
Dr. Risa Dickson, President of the 西瓜影视;Verne, expressed her enthusiasm about this recognition. “At the 西瓜影视;Verne, we are dedicated to empowering students from diverse backgrounds to pursue their dreams and succeed in their careers. Being recognized as an Opportunity University validates our demonstrable impact on student achievement.”
At the 西瓜影视;Verne, about 50 percent of students receive Pell Grants, and the institution also has a high percentage of students who are the first in their families to attend college.
The Student Access and Earnings Classification evaluates institutions based on data from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS), the U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard, and the U.S. Census Bureau. It considers factors such as the percentage of students receiving Pell Grants and the earnings of graduates relative to local economic conditions.
鈥淭he majority of students apply to college with the hope it is a path to opportunity, and the job they鈥檝e dreamt about,鈥� said Timothy F.C. Knowles, president of the Carnegie Foundation. 鈥淭his work is about ensuring that institutions are recognized when they empower students to reach their goals and succeed.鈥�
