Make a smart choice by basing your decision what you know about yourself.

• What do you enjoy doing?
• What are you good at?
• What type of lifestyle do you want?

Talk over your results with your parent(s), your high school counselor and/or your KSU academic advisor. The quiz results will give you interesting possibilities to consider.

 

Explore KSU majors and programs and how they fit with various career fields. Your KSU advisor can also advise you on a degree program that matches your interests and goals. Additional career exploration resources are available from the Department of Career Planning and Development.

Your results may have been what you expected, or they may have suggested something completely new to consider. That's okay. Start with general education classes and have an open mind. Nearly 80 percent of college students change their major at least once. After you get a few classes under your belt, you'll know more and be ready to move into your major classes.

The Value of a College Degree Is Real—In More Ways Than One

• In Georgia, a bachelor’s degree can add over $1.3 million to your lifetime earnings compared to stopping at high school. Master’s degree? Even more. That’s not pocket change—that’s generational wealth. (USG Economic Impact 2023, USG Lifetime Earnings 2023)
• College grads consistently earn more and have lower unemployment rates than non-grads. (Bureau of Labor Statistics)
• What about jobs that don’t require a degree? Most hit a ceiling fast, and automation and AI are reshaping industries. Many future jobs don’t yet exist, so college keeps your career options wide open.

Beyond the Numbers

• In college, you’ll learn critical thinking, problem-solving, and adaptability—transferable skills employers crave in a fast-changing world.
• It’s also about experiences: campus life, diverse perspectives, leadership opportunities, and friendships that last a lifetime.
• You’ll have access to mentors, professional networks, and opportunities that non-degree paths rarely match.

Your Future, Your Choice

Think big. Think long-term. Do you want flexibility? Higher lifetime earnings? More job security and less chance of unemployment? The payoff of a KSU degree lasts a lifetime.

Determining college costs can be challenging. Answer four easy questions, and you'll get KSU’s cost of attendance. This quick estimate doesn’t include financial aid awards, but you can also access more detailed financial resources and KSU's Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid website.
