Georgia State University

Georgia State University is on the move and on the rise.

Ranked as the #2 “Most Innovative University” in the country. Washington Post called Georgia State University a “hotbed of growth and innovation.”  Over 15 years, GSU has increased our graduation rate by 13 percentage points. We’re graduating 3,000 more undergraduates annually than we did in 2010, and we’ve reduced the time to a degree by half a semester, saving students a total of $18 million a year. Additional impressive accolades include our research expenditures increasing by 150% since 2010 and our annual economic impact on the region topping $2.8 billion. Georgia State is even the largest institution to compete in the National Association of Collegiate Esports (NACE).

A national leader for student success, Georgia State has pioneered the use of predictive analytics for academic performance and proactive advising interventions to:
