There were nearly 80,000 undergraduates and graduates in campus immersion in fall 2024. Throughout the academic year, the non-tuition spending of ASU students is estimated to have been around $1.7 billion. This spending supported 11,700 Arizona jobs, second in size of economic impact only to the university's direct employment of faculty and staff.
