The diversity of community colleges justifies a more subtle system of categorization than the traditional Carnegie system, but the large number of missions taken on by community colleges complicates this goal. Any system must be based on a clear understanding of the goals of the categorization. This chapter makes a distinction between a characteristics‐based system and an output‐based system and uses that distinction to discuss the proposed classification schemes.
