The Carnegie Classifications are retrospective, time-specific snapshots of colleges and universities. Inevitably, some changes such as program additions will be too recent to be captured in the data from which the classifications are derived. Any number of institutions might be classified differently using newer data, and to maintain the comparability of classifications we would have to reclassify all institutions. For this reason, we do not make case-by-case reclassifications based on newer data.
