College Scorecard (2026 release), institution-level · payback and returns are our math.

The arithmetic, on Albertus Magnus College's own numbers. Net price $34,028 × 4 years = $136,112 total. Median earnings $60,144 − the $48,360 high-school baseline = $11,784 a year of premium. $136,112 ÷ $11,784 = 11.6 years to break even; twenty years of that premium minus the cost leaves $99,568. Future dollars are not discounted, and the earnings figure blends every major here — your programme can beat or miss it. Full method.
