College Scorecard (2026 release), institution-level · payback and returns are our math.
The arithmetic, on Community Christian College's own numbers. Net price $22,280 × 2 years = $44,560 total. Median earnings $39,217 fall $9,143 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 $44,560 bill in about 4.5 years — the gap, not the price, is what blocks payback. Full method.

13% finish their degree — 87% leave carrying the cost without the credential. Spread the $44,560 bill across that completion rate and the cohort pays $342,769 per graduate produced — our math, and the figure a payback number never shows.
