By the Numbers
Why Partner with the State System Foundation?
PASSHE fuels Pennsylvania’s economy: Nearly 800,000 alumni live and work in every one of Pennsylvania’s 67 counties.
PASSHE enrolls over 80,000 students, with about 90% hailing from Pennsylvania. 33% are first-generation students, and 63% of graduates are still living and working in Pennsylvania ten years after graduation. The vast majority of State System students earn in-demand degrees, including STEM and healthcare-related programs.
When combined (STEM-H), these represent the most popular areas of study across PASSHE, accounting for about one-third of bachelor’s degree graduates. Business, the second most popular field of study, accounts for about one-fourth graduates.
