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 $35,558 — low enough that cost and debt deserve extra scrutiny. The middle half of the students measured earn between $21,680 and $55,966 ten years after entry — a normal spread, so the median is a fair expectation. On a cost-of-living-adjusted basis the median is worth $38,329, a meaningful premium over the nominal number. 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 $691,000, placing it 3,175 of 4,419 — worth more than the ten-year snapshot alone.
