College Scorecard (2026 release), institution-level · payback and returns are our math.
The arithmetic, on Bryant & Stratton College-Wauwatosa's own numbers. Net price $14,858 × 2 years = $29,716 total. Median earnings $32,568 fall $15,792 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 $29,716 bill in about 3.0 years — the gap, not the price, is what blocks payback. Full method.
