Economic Impact

The four institutions of the University System of New Hampshire (University of New Hampshire, Durham and Manchester; Plymouth State University; Keene State College; and Granite State College) also have a significant economic impact on our communities and our state. The dollars that are paid in tuition and fees, funds from contracts and sponsored research, the State’s basic appropriation, monies from auxiliary enterprises, and private and corporate philanthropy are largely spent here in New Hampshire, resulting in jobs, economic growth, and overall improvement in the quality of life.

We invite you to review the Statewide Economic Impact Report, "The New Hampshire Economy and the Role of USNH" PDF Format. It may well offer you new insights into the important role your public university system plays in the life of New Hampshire and its people.
