For 25 years, Georgia State has ranked among the top research universities and has distinguished itself through tremendous expansion of its innovative research enterprise. We will ambitiously pursue continued research growth and impact.
INNOVATING RESEARCH, SCHOLARSHIP AND CREATIVE ACTIVITY

Scholars from all disciplines at Georgia State University produce new knowledge that transforms lives and communities, improves the human condition and answers critical questions in our global society.
STUDENT SUCCESS
THE PRESIDENT'S PILLAR
Georgia State is committed to student success and has eliminated achievement gaps based on race, ethnicity and income. We are a nationally recognized leader in this area, but we need to continue to push ourselves to go even further.
STUDENT SUCCESS 2.0
THE STRATEGIC PLAN
Georgia State University boasts one of the most diverse student bodies in the nation and consistently demonstrates that students from all backgrounds can succeed at equal rates. We strive to support learners of all ages, identities, and experiences. Over the next ten years, we will continue to improve retention and graduation rates while positioning undergraduate and graduate students for success.
COLLEGE TO CAREERS
THE PRESIDENT'S PILLAR
Universities need to provide direct preparation for students focusing on “college to career” experiential learning while also accommodating career professionals who return to college to reskill. Adding new opportunities into the overall student experience can create better student outcomes and allow us to stand ready to strengthen the workforce.
BEYOND COLLEGE TO CAREER
THE STRATEGIC PLAN
Students from all backgrounds deserve the opportunity to achieve their full potential in their career and life. Georgia State University prepares diverse populations of undergraduate and graduate students across the life course to pursue their chosen fields with adaptability, agility, and creativity. Our students are primed to be engaged citizens, community leaders and innovators, and effective collaborators who give back to society.
