Grad Outcomes pie chart

 

In a recent study of national data, a major jobs site, Zippia.com, ranked Georgetown College #1 in Kentucky for getting a job after graduation!

More impressive is a major study completed by The Economist, an internationally renowned economic publication. The Economist set out to understand which colleges and universities make the biggest difference in a student’s future earnings and helped students the most? Georgetown College ranked 43rd in the country out of the thousands of universities and colleges. We do better than 95% of the colleges and universities in the country at raising our students’ future earnings! You can access the full study here.

Over the past five years, 100% of our pre-law students and more than 90% of our pre-med students have been admitted into top law schools and medical programs around the country. 

80%

Over 80% of students completing a major in Social and Criminal Justice or Security Studies are employed in the security field, from the Secret Service, FBI, and Department of Homeland Security to Forensic Scientists and Police Officers.

Georgetown College encouraged me to find ways to combine my education and my passion for community service. An accounting professor connected with the local Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program where I volunteered my senior year, and I now work as the Director of the program in Louisville, KY.

After leaving GC, I obtained my PhD in clinical psychology at Louisiana State University (LSU). I am currently working at a private practice in Louisville conducting evaluations for children and adolescents suspected of autism spectrum disorders, ADHD, learning disorders, and other behavioral/emotional concerns. I still keep in contact with some of the GC psych professors and they are always willing to answer questions I have. I am very appreciative of my time at Georgetown!
