Salary and Debt by Major at Georgia State University

We calculated a Salary Score for each of Georgia State University'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 State University 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.

Forget about getting answers to your questions from registrar's office or office of admissions, or financial aid. They make it impossible to get ahold of someone and only take questions through the website. They use COVID as the excuse 3 years after covid. They basically don't want to pay employees. Cheap school. Go elsewhere to avoid headaches.

Admin have ridiculously high salaries but don't care about the students. The professors are really good but are treated poorly by the admin. The ones who teach the most are paid the least. And the school no longer has tenure. All the best profs are leaving.
