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.

Ten-year median earnings of $24,505 trail most four-year institutions. The quartile range runs $11,766 to $47,047, typical for an undergraduate institution. Adjusted for local cost of living, that median is effectively $26,575 — the surrounding area is cheap enough that the salary stretches further than the raw figure suggests. The 40-year net present value from Georgetown CEW is $535,000, placing it 4,035 of 4,419 — worth more than the ten-year snapshot alone.
