The City College of New York has a substantial impact on the City of New York, and beyond.  Without CCNY, the City, State, and Region would not be what it is today!  A recent EMSI/Lightcast Study dives into the data surrounding this impact.  

Economic Impact Study:

The results of an economic modeling study, describing the impact that The City College of New York has in the local state economy (10 contiguous counties nearest to NY). The study, conducted by a group called EMSI, presents CCNY’s annual economic impact on those 10 counties, and also the “for dollar” return on investment to students, to the state, and to society. The study is rigorous and transparent: the 50 report pages are accompanied by an almost equal number of methodological appendices.
