CSU Study Shows Impact
of its 23 Campuses
The CSU, as one of the largest educational
systems in the United States, educates nearly 400,000
students every year and last spring, about 88,000 students
became CSU alumni, taking their place in the state’s
leading industries.
Consider:
- For every $1 the state invests in
the California State University, the CSU returns $4.41.
- CSU-related expenditures create more
than $13 billion annually in economic activity and
support more than 200,000 jobs in the state.
- The CSU provides the majority of the
professional workers that are critical to the state’s
knowledge-based industries: agriculture, engineering,
business, technology, media, and computer science.
The CSU graduates more students in these fields than
all other California universities and colleges combined.
- The CSU is the state’s leading
provider of graduates in services critical to the
state, providing more than 80 percent of the college
degrees in criminal justice, education, social work
and public administration.
- More than half of all CSU undergraduate
degrees are granted to Latino, African- American and
Native American students in California.
- The CSU improves local communities
and residents’ quality of life: CSU students
contribute 30 million hours a year to community service
activities, including education and health projects.
