It has been a while since I checked in on the Georgia State University MSF program. Looks like they have updated placements which look very good and a couple other things I wanted to make all of you aware of. Enjoy the update and stay tuned for more.
2023 Placement Report
I love seeing placement reports as most students go into a specialize masters with the goal of changing careers or starting their career. Let me lay out some data points on this report and I will give my thoughts after.
- 88.5% Employed within 3 months
- $80,077 Average Salary
- 49% Average Salary Increase
Employment is pretty solid within 3 months. I would be curious what this looks like at the 6 month mark. A lot of students are currently employed so the 49% increase in salary is a great indicator.
Here is a list of hiring firms:
Base Brands
Carter’s
Censeo Advisors
CHRISTUS Health
DataSeers
Equitable Advisors
EY
Focus Brands
Georgia Tech Foundation
Level 5 Capital Partners
Meridian Inventory
Metlife
Metric Financial
Novogradac & Company LLP
RaceTrac
Sofer Advisors
Sunrun
Synpulse USA Inc
Truist
UPS
VMware
Wells Fargo
Lots of well known firms on this list and this should give you a good idea of the local market as well as who is coming on campus. Also a good place to reach out to alumni and network.

There are a couple of upcoming admissions deadlines for this current application cycle. The first two rounds have passed, but you still have 3 to go.

That is the update for now. Solid placements, affordable tuition, and a campus located in Buckhead. Definitely a program you should consider if you are looking to work/live in Atlanta or the Southeast.
