Outcomes

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 $14,747 — low enough that cost and debt deserve extra scrutiny. The middle half of the students measured earn between $5,624 and $35,808 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 $15,581, a meaningful premium over the nominal number. Over a 40-year horizon, Georgetown CEW estimates a net present value of $511,000 (4,101 of 4,419 ranked).
