Lake Superior State University generated nearly $110 million in economic activity across Michigan in fiscal year 2024, according to a study by the Michigan Association of State Universities (MASU) and Anderson Economic Group.

LSSU’s economic impact reaches well beyond campus. The university contributed nearly $39 million in tax revenue to the state and supported approximately 465 jobs statewide. Spending tied to fall 2024 student enrollment alone added nearly $8.3 million in net new economic output.

The benefits extend to alumni as well. LSSU alumni earned about $388 million in post-tax, in-state earnings, including an estimated $56 million tied directly to the value of their LSSU degrees.
