Overview

With an enrollment of just under 1,100 students, Georgetown College offers a close-knit community that could be ideal for those who thrive in smaller environments. The acceptance rate of 91% suggests a welcoming atmosphere, and the college is known for its programs in Business & Marketing, Biology & Biomedical, Psychology, Communications, and Health Professions. This diversity can appeal to students with various interests and career goals.

Looking at life after graduation, the figures tell an encouraging story. Graduates earn a median income of $52,074 after ten years, which is a solid starting point for many. While the graduation rate stands at 48%, those who do complete their degrees tend to see a positive return on their investment compared to the cost of attendance. This makes Georgetown a reasonable choice for students who are willing to engage and put in the work to finish their programs.

However, the median debt of $25,200 can feel daunting, especially for those coming from lower-income backgrounds, as indicated by the 35% Pell Grant rate.
