Abstract
An analysis of 15 metropolitan areas in the United States demonstrates that the characteristics of higher education in urban marketplaces ar e diverse. Nevertheless, metropolitan areas in the West and Southwest rank the highest when dimensions of variety, access, dependence, and q uality are used to assess these marketplaces. Size, region, and strate gic economic location provide some limited explanation for the variati ons in marketplaces, although historical case studies of individual ar eas will need to be completed for a fuller understanding of these mark etplaces.
