The 2025 Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education has named USM among just 216 institutions to earn the new Research Colleges and Universities (RCU) designation—a huge testament to the incredible research happening in our classrooms, labs, and out in the world. From public policy to composites engineering to biological sciences, USM’s research is making an impact. President Jacqueline Edmondson sums it up best: "I am proud we have achieved this Carnegie recognition. It is hard-earned and well-deserved."
