Georgia State University's Peer Institutions
Peer institutions are essential for comparative analysis and benchmarking, enabling us to assess and enhance our performance against institutions with similar qualities and goals. At Georgia State University, our unique structure and diverse student population necessitate distinct peer groups for our Atlanta and Perimeter campuses.
These peer institutions were carefully selected based on factors such as resource levels, student headcount, institutional goals, and Carnegie classification. They reflect institutions that share common challenges and aspirations, providing a meaningful context for benchmarking and analysis. Other lists, however, may be more appropriate for precise comparisons, such as those involving specific units or academic departments.
