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 $29,738 trail most four-year institutions. Median debt among completers is only $3,167, which changes the arithmetic considerably. At 0.11, debt sits well inside the range graduates can service without strain. Default tells the same story: 0.0% of borrowers default within three years, well under the national rate. The 40-year net present value from Georgetown CEW is $683,000, placing it 3,219 of 4,419 — worth more than the ten-year snapshot alone.
