CSE students drive New Jersey's economic engine
Most people don't think about the economic impact of educating students. Maybe they should.
The College of Saint Elizabeth and the 13 other member institutions of AICUNJ (Assosication of Independent Colleges and Universities in New Jersey) play a vital role by contributing $4.9 billion to the New Jersey economy each year.
From payroll taxes of more than 17,500 employees, to new construction, research grants and more, New Jersey's independent institutions of higher education are a foundation for future economic growth and prosperity.
