College Scorecard (2026 release), institution-level · payback and returns are our math.
The arithmetic, on Bryan University's own numbers. Net price $20,834 × 4 years = $83,336 total. Median earnings $40,283 fall $8,077 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 $83,336 bill in about 8.3 years — the gap, not the price, is what blocks payback. Full method.
