Azimuth places the return pillar at Georgetown University in the 99th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions. That is the strongest of the university's four pillars.
Four years after completing a degree, federally aided graduates who are working and not enrolled earn a median of $119,773. That figure sits in the 99th percentile nationally.
It is $51,523 above the $68,250 median for comparable institutions of the same type and size. Graduates earn about $10,736 more than the model expects for similar students, a result at the 85th percentile.
The part the model attributes to the factors it measures (field of study, enrollment and the local labor market) adds $10,757. The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain subtracts $21.
The typical federally aided graduate of Georgetown University who is working and not enrolled earns $119,773 four years after completion. That figure falls at the 99th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions.
