Middle Georgia State University (MGA) contributed more than $312 million to the economy in fiscal 2024, a 5.3 percent increase over the previous year. Due to on- and off-campus spending during the same period, the University accounted for nearly 3,000 jobs.
That’s according to a study released August 12 by the University System of Georgia (USG). Dr. Jeffrey M. Humphreys, director of the Selig Center for Economic Growth in the University of Georgia’s Terry College of Business, conducted the study.
“The continued growth of the economic impact of the University is a powerful reflection of our commitment to our values of stewardship and engagement,” said Christopher Blake, Ph.D., MGA’s president. “Those values ensure that our resources leverage the economic well-being of the region by engaging our strength in the workforce and the community.”
