Top Ranked Programs
Georgia State University's program mix is anchored in Business, with substantial enrollment across health, social science, and interdisciplinary fields. Psychology, General is the largest program with 448 graduates, followed by Biology, General (375 graduates), Interdisciplinary Studies (374 graduates), Computer Science (353 graduates), and Artificial Intelligence (319 graduates). Business accounts for 20% of degree output, Social Sciences represents 8%, and Arts adds 8% — a distribution that reflects the university's broad applied-professional orientation across 47 programs serving roughly 5,296 students annually. The strongest earnings outcomes cluster in quantitative and applied-technology fields. Computer Science leads with median earnings of $100,582 four years after enrollment, and Azimuth ranks the program #75 for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions. The Artificial Intelligence program graduates 319 students with median earnings of $87,020, and Azimuth ranks it #76 for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions. Finance earns $82,688 with a cohort of 236 graduates, and Azimuth ranks it #57 for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions. The contrast between these high-earning fields and the institution's largest programs — where Psychology, General graduates earn $49,050 and Biology, General graduates earn $52,222 — illustrates how program choice shapes financial outcomes at Georgia State University. Several of the university's highest-earning programs feed directly into Atlanta's technology and finance sectors, making them high-mobility pathways where four-year earnings reflect genuine labor-market demand. Interdisciplinary Studies and Computer Science, by contrast, include a meaningful share of graduates who continue to graduate or professional school, where four-year earnings undercount the full career trajectory.
