Program Analysis
Graduates earn $40,079/yr, edging above the $34,392 national average for Sociology — a modest premium that suggests solid regional demand.
An earnings multiple of 2.1x means the program roughly breaks even in financial terms over ten years. Non-financial factors need to justify the investment.
AI risk is moderate — 42% task exposure — and the 9% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
At $13,266 in median debt against $40,079 in first-year earnings, graduates can expect to clear their loan balance in under six months of full earnings.
At #315 out of 414 programs, Georgetown University's financial outcomes for Sociology trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.
The five-year earnings trajectory from $40,079 to $57,169 shows 43% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
