What are the graduation rates for students at Georgetown College?

Georgetown College's reported six-year graduation rate is 49% for the applicable first-time student cohort. Its four-year rate is 43%. These measures track a defined group of students who began at the college; they do not describe the graduation prospects of every transfer or part-time student.

The six-year figure means roughly half of that cohort completed within the reporting window. Some students who did not graduate from Georgetown may have transferred or remained enrolled, so the rate should not be interpreted as a complete account of their educational outcomes. The reported first-year retention rate is 69%, a separate measure of how many students returned for a second year.

Applicants comparing colleges should use graduation and retention figures alongside program structure and cost. For a particular major, required course sequences and how frequently courses are offered can be more useful for planning a four-year schedule than an institution-wide average alone.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Georgetown College?

College Scorecard program-level figures report median earnings measured one year after completion for certain Georgetown College programs. The reported figures include $32,606 for teacher education focused on specific levels and methods and $25,800 for communication and media studies.

These are medians for the federally aided graduates represented in the Scorecard earnings measure, not starting-salary offers or predictions for an individual student. One-year earnings can reflect location, occupation, hours worked, further study, and the composition of a relatively small program cohort. Students should not use the figures to infer that one major necessarily produces better long-term outcomes than another. Program-level earnings are most informative when considered with employment goals, likely borrowing, and the time needed to complete the degree.
