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.
Median earnings ten years after entry are $33,763, below the typical undergraduate outcome. With the 25th percentile at $16,546 and the 75th at $50,143, outcomes here are about as varied as anywhere else. Mobility is a genuine strength — 2.7% of students move from the bottom income quintile to the top, a rate few institutions reach. Access drives it — 16.5% of the student body starts in the bottom income quintile. The 40-year net present value from Georgetown CEW is $733,000, placing it 2,915 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.
