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

The arithmetic, on Concordia University Texas's own numbers. Net price $23,131 × 4 years = $92,524 total. Median earnings $60,883 − the $48,360 high-school baseline = $12,523 a year of premium. $92,524 ÷ $12,523 = 7.4 years to break even; twenty years of that premium minus the cost leaves $157,936. Future dollars are not discounted, and the earnings figure blends every major here — your programme can beat or miss it. Full method.
