Outcomes Overview
Georgetown College graduates earn a median of $52,074 ten years after graduation, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 48% based on the typical $25,200 in student loans. Monthly loan payments of $267 consume about 6% of graduates' income, which sits below the recommended 10% threshold. The college's strong education and business programs typically funnel graduates into teaching, healthcare administration, and regional business roles throughout Kentucky. With 98% of graduates finding employment and relatively manageable debt loads, the financial outlook remains stable. However, the 47.5% six-year graduation rate and modest earnings growth suggest Georgetown delivers an average return on investment for students who complete their degrees.
