College Scorecard (2026 release), institution-level · payback and returns are our math.
The arithmetic, on Crestpoint University's own numbers. Net price $15,670 × 4 years = $62,680 total. Median earnings $42,269 fall $6,091 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 $62,680 bill in about 6.3 years — the gap, not the price, is what blocks payback. Full method.
