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 $37,282 trail most four-year institutions. Outcomes diverge sharply: a quarter of the students measured earn under $15,020 ten years after entry while a quarter clear $63,037. Adjusted for local cost of living, that median is worth closer to $33,672 — the surrounding area is expensive enough to erode part of the headline figure. 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 $790,000, placing it 2,528 of 4,419 — worth more than the ten-year snapshot alone.
