All 9 bachelor's programs, ranked

Each figure is the median for the program's graduates. "Rank in Georgia" compares first-year pay with the same field's bachelor's programs across Georgia. Programs that don't report a figure are listed last when you sort by it.

Program names link to the program's own page, and Georgia ranks link to the full ranking for the field. A program gets its own page when it reports both pay and debt and at least five Georgia programs in the field do too.

2 more bachelor's programs report debt but not pay, so they aren't listed.

About this data

  • Earnings and debt only include students who received federal financial aid, and earnings only count graduates who were working and not enrolled in more school.
  • Debt only includes federal loans. Private loans and credit cards are not counted.
  • Tuition, net price, graduation rate, and admission rate are for the whole school, not one program.
  • Some schools with several campuses report one combined figure for all of them. We count each of those schools once, and leave them out of Georgia rankings when their main campus is in another state.
  • Scorecard figures describe graduating classes from several years ago.
