I know what the Carnegie classifications mean for doctoral universities (i.e. R1, R2, R3), but I could use some insight into the meaning of Master's universities. Are they more akin to being R4, R5, R6, somewhere in between doctoral universities and SLACs, or is an M1 more akin to an R1? Thanks for any insight!

Even the R1 designation doesn't always mean a whole lot. For instance, I work at an R1 institution; however, the sociology program at my University is quite small and has only an undergraduate program. We have 3-3 teaching loads and our research requirements are fairly low for an R1 (three or four articles or a book to get tenure). This is in contrast to where I obtained my PhD, which is an R1 program in the truest sense (low teaching loads, graduate program, high research requirements (and expectation to publish in top outlets), grant expectations, etc.). So what that R1 designation means in practice could vary greatly from one "R1" to another. That doesn't answer your specific question, but I figured I'd throw it out there. I guess the larger lesson is that you really have to focus on the specific program you're applying to and understand what their specific teaching load is, research requirements, etc regardless of the University's overall Carnegie classification.
