Best History. Programs in Georgia (2025)

While school rankings suggest predictable outcomes, History programs tell a different story. Across 14 programs in Georgia, earnings range from $25,194 to $50,737—a $25K variation that tracks program quality, not overall school reputation.

Emory University's History program leads with graduates earning $50,737, well above the state average of $40,920. But Clayton State University follows closely at $47,741 with a 71% acceptance rate, while University of North Georgia produces $47,449 earners—proving regional publics compete directly with prestigious institutions.

For students, Emory achieves the strongest position with $18,250 in borrowing and an 8.9% payment burden, rating 'Good' for affordability. But families face different math—University of North Georgia leads with a 17.4% family debt burden compared to Emory's steep 26% when parent loans are included.
