These programs reflect the institution's strength in applied business and professionally oriented fields where graduates enter the workforce directly, and their rankings are described further in [how Azimuth evaluates programs](/analysis/college-program-rankings-how-to-actually-evaluate-programs/). Several of University of West Georgia's larger programs — including Psychology, General and Nursing — follow more mixed pathways, with some graduates entering the workforce and others continuing to graduate study, which means four-year earnings figures reflect only part of the long-term trajectory for those fields.
