Program data and definitions · How to evaluate program rankings
What are the largest programs at Kennesaw State University?
Counts describe degrees awarded in the reporting period, not current enrollment. Program data and definitions
The largest program records at Kennesaw State University, by reported degrees awarded, are: Psychology, General (448 awards); Business Administration, Management and Operations (290 awards); Mechanical Engineering (259 awards); Teacher Education and Professional Development, Specific Levels and Methods (256 awards); Biology, General (246 awards). These counts describe degree output in the source reporting period, not current enrollment or unique people.
Among those larger programs, reported median earnings four years after completion include Psychology, General at $50,645; Business Administration, Management and Operations at $70,708; Mechanical Engineering at $88,860. Program size and earnings answer different questions; the largest program need not have the highest earnings.
How do Kennesaw State University majors rank nationally?
Kennesaw State University’s national program ranks compare each field with the same field at other institutions in Azimuth’s ranking data. For example, a Computer Science rank compares programs in Computer Science, while a Biology rank compares programs in Biology.
A lower rank number indicates a higher position within that field; comparing the numbers across different fields does not tell you which major will pay more or suit you better.
These are Azimuth program-value rankings. The source orders programs by its composite program-value measure, so this view answers a different question from the highest-earning majors section.
A field can report lower earnings than another Kennesaw State University field while holding a stronger position against its own national competitors. Read its national position alongside the earnings and degree counts to understand both the comparison with other schools and the scale of the program at Kennesaw State University.

Programs ranked in the national top 50, supplemented by the largest ranked programs when needed to show ten. Fewer appear when fewer ranks are reported. Each rank compares bachelor’s programs in the same field; field sizes differ.
The list includes Kennesaw State University programs ranked in the national top 50 for their field. If fewer than ten qualify, it adds the largest remaining programs with a reported national rank, using degrees awarded to select them, until the list reaches ten or no ranked programs remain.
These additions broaden the comparison to larger Kennesaw State University programs; they are not necessarily ranked in the national top 50.

Figure notes link to sources and limitations. About College Azimuth.
Four-year earnings are measured after completion for the covered federally aided cohort of people working and not enrolled. Measures taken six, eight or ten years after entry use a different starting point and should not be treated as one graduating class followed over time.
Program award counts describe credentials awarded, not current enrollment, unique graduates or earnings-sample size. Reporting periods differ across measures; the shared field definitions do not establish the exact vintage of every school-level value.
