Sample of 12 campuses from the plot (sorted by enrollment). Source: U.S. Department of Education OPE Campus Safety Survey + IPEDS enrollment. Rate = on-campus Criminal Offenses and VAWA incidents per 1,000 students; lower is safer-reporting, not a personal-risk forecast.
What changed between 2023 and 2024
Reported on-campus incidents at Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine fell from 20 to 5 (-75%). The increase shows up in Arson (0 to 2). Falling over the same period: Fondling (7 to 1), Aggravated Assault (6 to 1) and Burglary (4 to 0).
This describes reported incidents, not crime. Clery counts move with reporting policy, awareness campaigns and how a campus staffs its security authorities, so a rise can reflect better capture of reports and a fall can reflect worse capture. One year of movement at a single campus is not a trend.
What actually gets reported at Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 7 Clery Act categories here: Fondling, Aggravated Assault, Burglary, Motor Vehicle Theft, Arson, Robbery and Murder / Non-Negligent Manslaughter.
The remaining 4 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, Incest, Negligent Manslaughter, Rape and Statutory Rape. Under the Clery Act that zero is an affirmative report that nothing in the category occurred, not an absence of data, which is why the table below lists those rows rather than dropping them.
Counts describe incidents reported under the Clery Act for the on-campus geography. Reporting practice varies between institutions, so counts are not a direct measure of relative safety.

Cost context
Where Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine sits on price and outcomes
At $23,384, Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine's reported average net price is cheaper than 66% among 261 Pennsylvania colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $19,954.
- $23,384
- average net price
- $19,954
- Pennsylvania median
- $422
- reported income-bracket spread
Price barely responds to income at this institution. Families under $30,000 report $23,173 and those above $110,000 report $23,595, a difference of just $422. Where the curve is this flat, need-based aid is doing little of the work and the sticker figure is close to what most families actually pay.
Median reported earnings six years after entry are $79,224, roughly 3.4 times a year of net price. That is a workable ratio, though it says nothing about how long the programme takes to finish.
Average net price reflects grant and scholarship aid for aided students, not a personal offer. Earnings cover former students who received federal aid; neither measure predicts an individual's outcome.
