Sacramento State has joined an elite group of universities across the country that boast a significant commitment to research and scholarly activities. The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching has, for the first time, recognized Sac State for its “high research activity” and number of awarded research doctoral degrees by designating the University as an R2 institution.
"In many ways, the R2 designation is a natural progression for us," said Lisa Hammersley, interim associate vice president for Research, Innovation, and Economic Development. "This is recognition of the level of scholarship that our faculty has engaged in for quite some time."
The milestone reflects the University's commitment to high-impact research while enhancing its ability to attract top faculty and provide students with valuable research opportunities that address real community challenges.
