Colleges in states where recreational marijuana became legal over the past decade saw a significant but short-term boost in applications from top-notch students.

Key Points: 
  • Colleges in states where recreational marijuana became legal over the past decade saw a significant but short-term boost in applications from top-notch students.
  • In the year that a particular state legalized recreational marijuana, the number of applications for that state’s colleges grew by about 5.5% more than colleges in states that did not legalize.
  • Public colleges and universities benefited more than private ones, though applications for private schools rose in states where recreational marijuana became legal as well.

Why it matters

  • One benefit is that schools had a larger and higher-achieving applicant pool to choose from.
  • Our results fit into a larger body of research analyzing what affects a student’s application choices.

How we do our work

  • These metrics include the number of applications, demographic characteristics of students and detailed tuition prices, both before and after financial aid is applied.
  • Along with this data, we analyzed state legislation to see when recreational marijuana would be available to students in a particular academic year.

What still isn’t known

  • It could be the case that legal sales create a perception for prospective applicants that underage consumption is less risky.
  • We also don’t know how much of the application boosts that occur after legalization are being driven by out-of-state students.
  • From this, we find that out-of-state enrollees increased nearly 25% for the largest schools in the year of marijuana legalization.

What’s next

  • Similarly, it would be insightful to examine how legalized marijuana affected student outcomes for all schools, while accounting for the nationwide disruptions associated with COVID-19.
  • The Research Brief is a short take on interesting academic work.
