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

The arithmetic, on Central Christian College of Kansas's own numbers. Net price $11,404 × 4 years = $45,616 total. Median earnings $44,468 fall $3,892 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 $45,616 bill in about 4.6 years — the gap, not the price, is what blocks payback. Full method.
