Atlanta — September 27, 2022
The number of degrees awarded by 嗨碰视频 (嗨碰视频) institutions increased in FY2022 to an all-time high of 74,446, a 2.1% increase over the previous year.
鈥淏y preparing students for good jobs and helping create the jobs of the future, Georgia鈥檚 public colleges and universities are a great value for students and a major contributor to our state鈥檚 economy,鈥 嗨碰视频 Chancellor Sonny Perdue said. 鈥淭his record in degrees awarded only confirms that the hard work being done across the university system is having an impact on the success of both our students and Georgia.鈥
The number of degrees awarded has grown by 36% since 嗨碰视频 joined the Complete College America program in 2011 and prioritized system efforts on raising degree completion in Georgia.
Over that same period, 嗨碰视频 enrollment has grown by 7.1% 鈥 meaning the rate of awarding degrees continues to far exceed the rate of enrollment.
嗨碰视频 has implemented a number of initiatives to increase degree completion, including the Momentum Year program, which focuses on the first-year college experience. Other programs include those that use predictive analytics to more quickly alert advisors to lagging student performance and provide 鈥渄egree roadmaps鈥 to help students avoid spending time and money in courses that do not count toward their degree.
The continued rise in the number of degrees awarded also comes as the value of a 嗨碰视频 degree has shown to be significant. Graduates from the Class of 2021 will earn over $1 million more during their lifetimes than they would have without going to college and earning their bachelor鈥檚 degree, according to a recent analysis. Graduate and professional degrees only increase those average career earnings.
To help students and families work through critical decisions about college affordability and value, 嗨碰视频 has also launched the new website called Georgia Degrees Pay.
Georgia Degrees Pay provides an array of public data on 嗨碰视频鈥檚 26 public colleges and universities and allows comparisons about the overall cost to attend college, majors and fields of study, average student borrowing and average career earnings of 嗨碰视频 graduates.
The annual degrees conferred report for FY2022 is available online at 嗨碰视频鈥檚 website.
