Why don’t the new classifications distinguish public and private institutions?
Published versions of the Carnegie Classification have always listed institutions by state and control (public or private), but control has not been an explicit classification criterion. Indeed, one reason the Carnegie Classification was developed in 1970 was because routinely separating public and private institutions often ignored important similarities in mission and function. Classification listings can be filtered by control (or other attributes), and any listing can be sorted by control (click the column heading).
