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 $24,664 — low enough that cost and debt deserve extra scrutiny. The quartile range runs $12,655 to $45,008, typical for an undergraduate institution. On a cost-of-living-adjusted basis the median is worth $25,411, a meaningful premium over the nominal number. The 40-year net present value from Georgetown CEW is $404,000, placing it 4,378 of 4,419 — worth more than the ten-year snapshot alone.
