Outcomes
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.
2.4% of students climb from the bottom income quintile to the top, which is what an engine of mobility actually looks like. That mobility figure comes from access as much as outcomes: 25.0% of students come from the bottom income quintile to begin with. Georgetown CEW puts this school's 40-year net present value at $757,000, ranking it 2,748 of 4,419 institutions — a long-horizon view that smooths out early-career noise.
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.
