Outcomes Overview
Georgetown graduates earn a median of $103,494 ten years after graduation, reflecting the school's strong connections to politics, consulting, and finance. With typical debt of $15,500, graduates face a favorable debt-to-earnings ratio of just 15%. Monthly loan payments of $164 represent only 1.9% of median income, well below financial experts' recommended 10% threshold. The School of Foreign Service feeds directly into State Department careers, while Georgetown's DC location provides unmatched access to government internships and lobbying firms. Alumni networks in investment banking and law create additional pathways to high-earning positions. The 94.9% employment rate demonstrates market confidence in Georgetown credentials. Despite the steep $86,031 total cost, this represents a strong return on investment.
