How do the Earnings of Turner College Graduates Compare?

University System of Georgia Chancellor Sonny Perdue recently informed faculty and staff within the USG that it has developed a new, one-stop website, Georgia Degrees Pay, dedicated to helping students, families, taxpayers and other stakeholders compare how much it costs to attend any USG institution, how well these institutions help students become successful and how much in potential future earnings graduates can expect. According to Perdue, “Prospective students will be able to make informed decisions regarding which institutions fit their needs and ambitions best, while having easy access to extensive information including system initiatives and financial aid options. The site will keep developing as we add more and more data to help Georgians make good decisions.” Turner Business visited the site to see how the future earnings of Turner College graduates compares to those of our peer institutions, which are referred to by the USG as “State Universities.” The nine institutions included in this category are Albany State University, Clayton State University, Columbus State University, Fort Valley State University, Georgia College and State University, Georgia Southwestern State University, Middle Georgia State University, Savannah State University and the University of North Georgia.

According to the data for 10 years after graduation, alumni of the D. Abbott Turner College of Business at CSU who earn a bachelor’s degree in “business and management, general” are paid an average of $50,193. The Turner College ranks fourth using this metric. In the case of accounting graduates’ earnings, the Turner College’s average of $57,385 again places fourth among the nine USG institutions. With average earnings of $63,697, management information systems majors in the Turner College rank first within the USG, while Turner College marketing graduates’ average earnings of $60,469 rank second among “State Universities” in the USG. Also ranking first, with average earnings of $80,918, are alumni of CSU’s TSYS School of Computer Science. Lastly, Turner College graduates also compare favorably at the graduate level. For example, the average earnings of the Turner College’s MBA graduates is $97,830, ranking first in the USG. Additionally, master’s degree recipients from CSU’s TSYS School earn an average of $91,693, which also ranks first among peer USG universities.
