Deep Dive: Seeing How College Pays Off


Listen Later

In an age when many are skeptical of the value of higher education, Georgia Degrees Pay offers a rare, data-driven approach to transparency. Operated by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, the platform helps students and parents assess the true cost and impact of a college degree by providing clear insights into tuition, financial aid, debt, graduation rates, and real earnings of graduates over time. Unlike promotional materials that sell a dream, it delivers nuanced data, salary percentiles, scholarship retention, and institutional comparisons, so families can make informed, strategic decisions. By prioritizing facts over marketing, Georgia Degrees Pay empowers users to define the worth of a college education on their own terms.
