Study reveals that public universities impact state and regional economies

A study prepared by the National Association of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges (NASULGC) found that public universities generate a 5:1 return on state investment. This study, Shaping the Future Ð the Economic Impact of Public Universities, revealed that state and land-grant universities provide a major stimulus to their state and regional economies by generating jobs, attracting and helping create new high-tech businesses and increasing state tax revenues.
