Small Colleges, Big Impact: Modeling the Economic Fallout of Campus Closures
Webinar Details
What to Expect
Small liberal arts colleges are at risk and so are their cities.
Current trends across the United States show liberal arts colleges are closing at an alarming rate. In 2024 alone, over 20 colleges and universities have closed due to financial difficulties, decreases in enrollment, political pressure, and more.
The closure of a small college can be devastating for small municipalities, leaving a gap in tax revenue, students that need to find an alternative, and an abandoned campus. Modeling the economic impact of small colleges and universities is important not only to show their value to local stakeholders but also to show the losses from potential future closures.
In this webinar, Kristen Blazek, Ph.D., Research Associate in the Levin College at Cleveland State University joins IMPLAN Vice President of Customer Success and Education Services, Candi Clouse, Ph.D., to discuss an economic impact analysis of the recent closure of Notre Dame College in South Euclid, Ohio. They discuss how you can model a similar situation in any region, as well as the warning signs for small colleges across the United States.
