College Scorecard (2026 release), institution-level · payback and returns are our math.
The arithmetic, on Aveda Arts & Sciences Institute-Covington's own numbers. Net price $25,742 × 4 years = $102,968 total. Median earnings $30,334 fall $18,026 short of the $48,360 high-school baseline, so the premium this formula divides by is not positive and no break-even year exists on institution-wide pay. A programme here earning $58,360 would clear the $102,968 bill in about 10.3 years — the gap, not the price, is what blocks payback. Full method.
