Georgia Gwinnett College

What are the graduation rates for students at Georgia Gwinnett College?

GGC's reported six-year graduation rate is 21%, while its four-year rate is 6%. These are different checkpoints for a defined group of first-time, full-time students pursuing bachelor's degrees; they are not the percentage of everyone who has ever attended GGC who eventually earns a credential.

The six-year figure means roughly one in five students in the measured entering cohort completed a degree at GGC within six years. It does not count a student who finishes after that window in the same way, and it does not directly describe the outcome of a transfer student arriving with college credit. The reported first-year retention rate is 63%, another measure worth examining alongside completion: it tracks whether students returned the following year, not whether they ultimately graduated.

These figures make course planning consequential. An applicant can ask the relevant school how often required courses are offered, whether a proposed part-time schedule is workable and what advising is available when a student changes majors.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Georgia Gwinnett College?

Federal College Scorecard program-level figures report earnings one year after completion for graduates in particular fields who meet the measure's data requirements. They are not starting-salary offers or a prediction of what any individual GGC student will earn.

Among the reported fields, the one-year figure is $65,800 for registered nursing, $43,344 for special education, $38,269 for general business and $37,525 for criminal justice. These figures describe different groups of graduates and should not be read as a controlled comparison of the value of the majors.

Early earnings can reflect occupation, location, hours worked and whether someone pursues further study. Federal program-level measures also cover a defined population of aided students rather than every graduate. Students weighing career prospects should consider licensing rules, internship access and longer-term career paths alongside any single year of earnings data.
