The University of Louisiana at Lafayette has once again been named an R1 university by the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education.

This prestigious honor only goes to about 5% of colleges and universities nationwide and labels UL as one of the top research institutions.

In order to qualify for R1 status, the school must spend more than $50 million on research while giving out more than 70 research doctorates.

“Earning our place among the country’s top research universities once again is a testament to our faculty, staff and student researchers whose scholarship and innovation draws national and international attention to our university,” said University President Joseph E. Savioe in a statement.

UL was last awarded R1 status in 2022 and is reevaluated every three years.
