Georgia College & State University Earnings: $63K (2026)

How much do Georgia College & State University graduates earn?

The reported median is $62,852 four years after completion. The peer comparison uses $57,301 as its benchmark; the difference is $5,551 per year.

The return picture at Georgia College & State University pairs earnings above comparable peers with a model result below expectations. Azimuth places its return in the 49th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions.

Federally aided completers working and not enrolled earn $62,852 four years after completion, in the 60th percentile. This is $5,551 above the peer median of $57,301, the middle value for comparable institutions (same type and size).

Graduates earn about $6,939 less than expects for similar students. Earnings beyond expectations, the gap between what graduates earn and what the model expects for similar students, are in the 29th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions.

The part the model attributes to the factors it measures (field of study, enrollment and the local labor market) adds $8,344. The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain subtracts $15,283. The peer comparison and model result pull apart.

The program mix yields a broad modeled earnings range, from a downside scenario of $49,368 to an upside scenario of $84,321. These are scenarios rather than observed groups of graduates.

At the higher end, median earnings four years after completion are $97,653 in Computer/Information Technology Administration and Management, $96,335 in Computer Science, and $86,894 in Business/Managerial Economics. Those program figures show why the modeled range is wide.

Graduate study changes the scope of the earnings figure. An estimated 27.8% of graduates continue to graduate study, a figure estimated from the program mix rather than observed enrollment.

Four-year earnings cover completers who are working and not enrolled, so those continuing their education are outside that snapshot.

Downside shows a lower-earning scenario based on the college’s mix of programs; upside shows a higher-earning scenario. Typical is the school’s reported median four years after completion. These are planning scenarios, not a forecast of your salary or percentiles of individual graduates.

Why the downside matters explores the risk hidden by medians, using older ten-year entrant data. Read about the move to four-year earnings.

Do Georgia College & State University graduates earn more than expected?

Azimuth models what we would expect graduates to earn based on who the college enrolls, how selective it is and its local economy. The difference between that expectation and reported earnings is what Azimuth calls value added.

Georgia College & State University graduates’ reported earnings are $6,939 below that expectation, the 28th percentile for this measure. Unlike a peer comparison, it adjusts for who enrolls.

The breakdown separates the contribution attributed to observed factors from the remaining difference. Neither component establishes how much attending Georgia College & State University caused a student to earn. Read how expected earnings are estimated.
