Penn State translates research into jobs.

NEARLY 14,000 JOBS can be attributed to Penn State’s $400 million research program each year, not including thousands more that are created or saved as a result of technologies developed at the University and transferred to the private sector. During a typical year, the University engages in research projects with nearly 400 Pennsylvania companies. Penn State receives more research funding from private industry--$68.5 million in fiscal 1999--than any other public university in the nation.
