Salary and Debt by Major at Georgia Institute of Technology
We calculated a Salary Score for each of Georgia Institute of Technology's programs by comparing program-specific median alumni earnings to median alumni earnings for the same program across all schools that provide this data. This way, students can compare the relative salary strength of a specific major at Georgia Institute of Technology to the same major at other schools. A school's overall score by level is based on the school's by-program performance weighted by student enrollment in each program. Data is sourced from the December 2020 release of the U.S. Department of Education's College Scorecard and reflects median alumni debt upon graduation and median alumni earnings in the year after graduation for students who received federal financial aid. Debt and salary numbers are shown rounded to the nearest $10.

The Materials Science and Engineering community at Georgia Tech is very supportive and has improved my experience. Coming to Tech, I wanted a university that would allow me to conduct cutting-edge research as an undergraduate student. I wanted a place that would be supportive of hands on learning. I have been able to do this and have been surrounded by peers that are also interested in research.
The classes are challenging at Georgia Tech but I believe that anyone who really wants to be an engineer can absolutely... Read More
Tech has allowed me to get internships easily compared to other universities.
Great school if you are interested in engineering. If you are pre-health of any sort, I do not recommend going to this institution. GPA is very important for your future applications and Georgia Tech makes it very difficult (not impossible) to achieve the GPA necessary. Also, resources are limited for those students who are pre-health.
