CALIFORNIA BUSINESS MINUTE
Impact of UC Davis
01-11-12
Hi, I am Tim Johnson and welcome to the California Business Minute.
A new report illustrates that the University of Davis is a powerful economic
engine for Northern California.
The University has an estimated 25,000 undergraduate students and 4,300 graduate
students in addition to a School of Veterinary Medicine, School of Law, Graduate
School of Management and School of Education. The Davis campus and its affiliated
centers generated more than 47,000 jobs and $3.1 billion in goods and services in
the six-county Capital region (El Dorado, Placer, Sacramento, Sutter, Yolo and
Yuba counties).
These affiliated centers include the Bodega Marine Laboratory, Tahoe Environmental
Research Center, Oakville Experimental Vineyard, San Francisco Working
Professional MBA Program and a Veterinary Medicine Teaching & Research Center in
Tulare.
In a corresponding study that examines the economic impact of the Sacramento
facilities of UC Davis including the UC Davis Health System, which includes
the UCD School of Medicine, UCD Medical Center, Betty Irene Moore School of
Nursing and UCD Medical Group, an 800-member physician practice group with
outpatient clinics throughout the Sacramento region, it illustrates more than
20,000 jobs and $3.4 billion in goods and services.
Combined the total direct and indirect impacts create 67,000 jobs and an annual
$6.9 billion economic impact in Northern California.
The report was completed by the Sacramento Regional Research Institute.
I am Tim Johnson and this has been the California Business Minute.
