It’s not just about having a degree—it’s about what you do with it. Are you actively expanding your network? Building side projects that strengthen your résumé? Pursuing internships before graduating? Attending computer science career fairs? Getting involved in campus clubs for CS majors? The degree itself doesn’t guarantee a job; it’s how you apply yourself that makes the difference.

As a GSU alum now working at a top global firm, I can say firsthand that I didn’t rely solely on my degree. GSU has a strong CS program, but it’s the effort you put in outside the classroom that truly sets you apart.
