Cost Overview
Most families pay around $27,500 annually at Southwestern, not the $51,000 sticker price. Lower-income families with earnings under $30,000 pay just $18,800 per year, while those earning over $110,000 pay $33,800. Over four years, expect total costs between $75,000 and $135,000 depending on family income.
The 11:1 student-faculty ratio justifies the investment for many families. Graduates carry a median debt of $25,000, translating to monthly payments of $265. With median earnings of $56,900 ten years out, most alumni can manage this debt load comfortably. The 74% loan repayment rate suggests graduates find steady work after leaving Georgetown.
Middle-income families earning $30,000 to $75,000 get the sweetest deal here. They pay less than the wealthy while accessing the same small liberal arts education that has produced business moguls and White House press secretaries.
