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 $31,853, below the typical undergraduate outcome. Outcomes diverge sharply: a quarter of the students measured earn under $17,639 ten years after entry while a quarter clear $64,208. The cost-adjusted equivalent is $29,515, so the nominal salary overstates real purchasing power here. The 40-year net present value from Georgetown CEW is $540,000, placing it 4,006 of 4,419 — worth more than the ten-year snapshot alone.
