The Top 20 University In-plants

IPG recently compiled a list of the largest in-plants according to both annual sales and number of employees. Though the final lists (which will appear in our December issue) included in-plants from government, insurance, retail, manufacturing and other sectors, university in-plants made up the largest portion.

So here is a list of the top 20 university in-plants, according to the number of employees. (We added half of the part-time/temporary employees to the full-time figure. Ties marked with *.)

1. Brigham Young University (158)
2. University of Washington (132.5)
3. University of California-Berkeley (117)
4. University of Missouri (83.5)
5. University of Oklahoma (83)
6. Louisiana State University (79.5)
7. Purdue University (78)
8. Washington State University (73.5)
9. University of Minnesota (73)
10. Penn State (70)
11. Yale University (69)
12. The University of Texas at Austin (68.5)
13. University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill (52)
14. Iowa State University (51.5)

17. University of Iowa (49)
18. University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (48)
