Directs Secretary of Higher Education to conduct study to determine extent and cause of outmigration of high school graduates to out-of-State colleges.

This bill requires New Jersey's Secretary of Higher Education to study why high school graduates choose out-of-state colleges instead of staying in-state. The study will survey students, review academic/socioeconomic factors of those who leave versus stay, compare out-of-state college quality to NJ institutions, and consult guidance counselors. It also examines whether New Jersey's small size or students' desire for independence influences their choices. The Secretary must submit a report with findings and potential solutions to the Governor and Legislature within one year. The bill does not change current policies but aims to gather data to inform future decisions.
