Abstract: Institutional Members of the Council of Independent Colleges (CIC) are increasingly offering graduate programs. A decade ago, in 2013-2014, only 45 percent were classified as Carnegie Masters or Doctoral. In 2023-2024, 55 percent fall in these categories. To better understand how independent colleges build, support, and sustain graduate programs and students, CIC surveyed presidents and chief academic officers at member institutions to get a better understanding of this. This report shares the context in which independent institutions are offering graduate programming and insights from their survey responses. CIC intends to use the findings from this survey to assist institutions and university leaders in anticipating graduate market trends and building sustainable graduate programs that serve student needs and deliver transformative educational outcomes.
