College Scorecard reports school-wide earnings and price, not per-major outcomes for individual colleges. Program share is a concentration signal, not a promise of department quality. Use it as a proxy, then verify department-level outcomes with the school.
Value among peer schools
Compared with 360 schools that report this field.
This page treats cost and earnings as school-wide context, not department-level outcomes. The reported share is above the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is higher than the peer average ($23,885 above), and ten-year median earnings are higher than the peer average ($49,089 above). That combination produces a C value grade and a top 77% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Social Sciences, General accounts for 2.3% of reported programs at Georgetown University, which is bigger than 79% of schools in this field set and above the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 174 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Georgetown University's average net price is $40,815 per year, about $163,260 over four years. That is $23,885 above the $16,930 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $103,494 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $49,089 above the $54,405 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
What should I compare next?
Start with program share, net price after aid, graduation rate, location, and whether the department publishes placement or licensure outcomes. EduGradify ranks Georgetown University #276 of 360 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
