Atlanta Metropolitan State College

What are the graduation rates for students at Atlanta Metropolitan State College?

AMSC's reported overall graduation rate is 17%, while its reported first-year retention rate is 45%. These figures warrant attention, but neither represents every student's chance of finishing: standard federal graduation measures track defined entering cohorts over specified periods and can leave out many transfer or part-time students.

The reported six-year graduation figure is 18%, and the reported four-year figure is 0%. Those measures should not be treated as interchangeable with the overall rate or applied to every degree program; their cohorts and time frames can differ, and AMSC offers both associate and bachelor's pathways. The figures do not establish why students left or whether they later graduated elsewhere. Applicants may find it more useful to ask for completion and transfer outcomes for their intended credential and for students with a similar enrollment pattern.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Atlanta Metropolitan State College?

Program-level College Scorecard figures supplied for AMSC show reported earnings one year after completion of $24,003 for business administration, management, and operations and $19,600 for criminal justice and corrections. These are historical observations for the covered students and programs, not salary offers or predictions for a new enrollee.

One-year earnings can differ substantially from later-career earnings. They may also reflect graduates who work part time, continue their education, or enter different occupations within the same field. The figures do not explain an individual student's debt, living costs, or opportunities in a particular job market. Students comparing programs should consider the exact credential, likely occupations, completion costs, and more than one year of outcomes where comparable measures are available.
