Georgia Institute of Technology-Main Campus Career Outcomes & Earnings

Azimuth places the return pillar at Georgia Institute of Technology-Main Campus in the 99th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions. Graduates earn about $13,842 more than the model expects for similar students, a result in the 90th percentile.

The part the model attributes to the factors it measures (field of study, enrollment and the local labor market) adds $19,443. The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain subtracts $5,601.

The STEM component inside the measured factors adds $12,020. Four years after completion, federally aided completers working and not enrolled show median earnings of $119,180, a figure in the 99th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions.

That amount sits above the peer median of $65,610 for comparable institutions (same type and size) by $53,570.

The range between the downside and upside scenarios spans from $80,745 to $147,525, reflecting the variation in earnings potential across the university's program clusters. Computer and Information Sciences, the highest-earning program, shows a median of $150,628 four years after completion, alongside 847 degrees awarded.

Computer Engineering and Industrial Engineering follow, with median earnings of $128,497 and $128,003, respectively. These programs, along with the broader engineering and computing families that account for the majority of degrees awarded, anchor the university's strong earnings profile.

An estimated 25.9% of graduates continue to graduate study, a figure derived from the university's program mix rather than observed enrollment. Because four-year earnings figures capture only those working and not enrolled, this estimate indicates that a sizable portion of completers may be building additional human capital outside the earnings snapshot.

Georgia Institute of Technology-Main Campus awards the bulk of its degrees in engineering and computing, and the earnings figures four years after completion show that concentration. Computer and Information Sciences is the largest program, with 847 degrees awarded and median earnings of $150,628.

Azimuth ranks it #9 nationally within its field. Industrial Engineering is smaller at 382 degrees awarded, but its median earnings of $128,003 place it #2 nationally within its field.

Mechanical Engineering awards 421 degrees and posts median earnings of $99,955, with a national rank of #26 within its field. Business Administration and Management is the only program among the five largest outside of engineering and computing.

It awards 359 degrees and its graduates earn a median of $106,155, which Azimuth ranks #16 nationally within its field. The business degree still lands well above the national median for its field.

The university has 18 ranked bachelor's programs. The largest is Computer and Information Sciences, with 847 degrees awarded and median earnings of $150,628 four years after completion, ranking #9 nationally.

Mechanical Engineering awarded 421 degrees and earns a median of $99,955 (ranked #26). Industrial Engineering follows with 382 degrees awarded and median earnings of $128,003, ranking #2 in its field.

Business Administration and Management and Biomedical Engineering round out the largest programs, with median earnings of $106,155 and $102,755 respectively.
