The University of Tennessee Health Science Center contributed approximately $4 billion to the Tennessee economy in Fiscal Year 2017, according to a study released last month that designed to gauge the university’s total economic impact on the state.
The 2017 Economic Impact Report was done by Cyril F. Chang, PhD, professor of economics at the Fogelman College of Business and Economics at the University of Memphis. The report, the first for UTHSC since 2011, includes the university’s direct and indirect economic contributions to the economy and confirms that UTHSC’s statewide financial impact continues to grow.
