Middle Georgia State University

What are the graduation rates for students at Middle Georgia State University?

MGA's reported overall graduation rate is 25%. The reported four-year rate is 12%, while the six-year rate is 24%. These measures concern defined groups of entering students and time periods; they should not be read as the probability that any individual student will graduate.

The rates are well below the supplied national comparison for the same reporting series. MGA's reported first-year retention rate is 65%, meaning that roughly two-thirds of the measured group returned for the next year under that measure. Graduation figures for first-time entrants may not fully capture outcomes for transfer students, who are a substantial part of MGA's intake, or students who complete a credential elsewhere.

For a prospective student, the useful follow-up is program-specific: ask how often required courses are offered, whether a major has a separate admission process, and what an achievable schedule looks like while working or commuting. The published rates alone do not establish why students leave or take longer to finish.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Middle Georgia State University?

College Scorecard field-of-study figures provide one limited view of earnings roughly one year after completion for graduates included in its federal-aid-based data. They are historical, program-level measures - not starting-salary offers or predictions for a new student.

Among the reported one-year figures, registered nursing was $59,755, air transportation was $43,600, and computer and information sciences was $43,302. Business administration was $38,950, while psychology was $24,974. These differences may reflect occupation, additional credentials, local labor markets, and the point at which graduates enter full-time work; they do not isolate the effect of attending MGA.

Students comparing programs should consider the size and definition of the group behind a published figure, whether further licensing or graduate study is common, and the costs required to enter the field. A one-year earnings measure also says little about later career progression or graduates' debt.
