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.

Median earnings settle at $43,364 ten years after entry, close to the typical four-year result. The quartile range runs $27,877 to $63,915, typical for an undergraduate institution. On a cost-of-living-adjusted basis the median is worth $48,451, a meaningful premium over the nominal number. The 40-year net present value from Georgetown CEW is $958,000, placing it 1,350 of 4,419 — worth more than the ten-year snapshot alone.
