Outcomes
Earnings across the first decade (P25 / median / P75)
College Scorecard institution medians at 1, 6 and 10 years after entry. The P25/P75 band is scaled from the 10-year percentile spread, not separately published at each horizon.
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 $32,622 trail most four-year institutions. The quartile range runs $18,506 to $47,785, typical for an undergraduate institution. That mobility figure comes from access as much as outcomes: 26.6% of students come from the bottom income quintile to begin with. The 40-year net present value from Georgetown CEW is $663,000, placing it 3,336 of 4,419 — worth more than the ten-year snapshot alone.
Economic mobility (Opportunity Insights)
Opportunity Insights, students born 1980–1991 — a track record, not a forecast for today's entering class. The mobility rate is a share of all students (bottom-quintile origin and top-quintile outcome); the success rate is the share of bottom-quintile students alone who reach the top. They answer different questions and the second is always the larger number.
