College Scorecard. Earnings are measured ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike — not ten years after graduation.

A decade after entry, the median student earns $35,086 — low enough that cost and debt deserve extra scrutiny. The middle half of the students measured earn between $19,040 and $55,422 ten years after entry — a normal spread, so the median is a fair expectation. On a cost-of-living-adjusted basis the median is worth $36,149, a meaningful premium over the nominal number. A three-year default rate of 0.0% confirms borrowers here are managing their loans. The 40-year net present value from Georgetown CEW is $786,000, placing it 2,558 of 4,419 — worth more than the ten-year snapshot alone.
