Research continues to grow at Fresno State, allowing students, faculty and staff to advance scholarly and creative work that can benefit the campus and the greater community.
The university’s R2 research designation, first earned in 2022, was renewed by the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education. An institution is designated R2 status if it awarded at least 20 research doctorates and had at least $5 million in total research expenditures during the classification update year.
Fresno State awarded 25 research doctoral degrees and spent $11.4 million on research expenditures in the 2022-23 academic year. The university offers a Doctoral Program in Educational Leadership (Ed.D.), Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) and Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP).
The updated 2025 Carnegie Classifications were released Feb. 13 and include a series of changes to modernize and more accurately describe the richness and multifaceted nature of today’s colleges and universities. The R2 designation is now labeled “High Spending and Doctorate Production” instead of “Doctoral University – High Research Activity.”
