College Scorecard (2026 release), institution-level · payback and returns are our math.
The arithmetic, on Eastern New Mexico University-Roswell Campus's own numbers. Net price $3,645 × 4 years = $14,580 total. Median earnings $38,550 fall $9,810 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 $14,580 bill in about 1.5 years — the gap, not the price, is what blocks payback. Full method.
