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 $34,071 — low enough that cost and debt deserve extra scrutiny. The quartile range runs $17,590 to $51,079, typical for an undergraduate institution. On a cost-of-living-adjusted basis the median is worth $37,086, a meaningful premium over the nominal number. The 40-year net present value from Georgetown CEW is $728,000, placing it 2,950 of 4,419 — worth more than the ten-year snapshot alone.
