Over the past decade, the university has increased our graduation rate by 23 points. We’re graduating 2,800 more students a year than just five years ago and we’ve reduced the time to degree by half a semester, saving students $18 million a year. We’ve eliminated achievement gaps based on race, ethnicity or income. Learn more about how we’ve come so far, so fast.” https://success.gsu.edu/
