Please join us in celebrating! Earlier today, the American Council on Education officially conferred Howard with the prestigious Research One (R1) Carnegie Classification, solidifying its place as a powerhouse of innovation and discovery. This milestone is especially groundbreaking as Howard University is the only HBCU with the R1 designation—known as the highest research activity classification among U.S. colleges and universities. “As a leader in the evolution of next generation HBCUs, we are dedicated to ensuring that the benefits of discovery and progress reach all communities, including those historically overlooked and underrepresented,” said President Ben Vinson III, Ph.D. This is more than a simple accomplishment—Howard is redefining research and reimagining innovation. Join us in celebrating this extraordinary moment in Howard’s history as we continue to influence the future of research, innovation, and impact. The Mecca continues to lead the way!
