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 $41,656 — low enough that cost and debt deserve extra scrutiny. The middle half of the students measured earn between $24,734 and $62,109 ten years after entry — a normal spread, so the median is a fair expectation. Adjusted for local cost of living, that median is worth closer to $40,282 — the surrounding area is expensive enough to erode part of the headline figure. The 40-year net present value from Georgetown CEW is $819,000, placing it 2,325 of 4,419 — worth more than the ten-year snapshot alone.
