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

The arithmetic, on Emory University-Oxford College's own numbers. Net price $37,920 × 2 years = $75,840 total. Median earnings $80,137 − the $48,360 high-school baseline = $31,777 a year of premium. $75,840 ÷ $31,777 = 2.4 years to break even; twenty years of that premium minus the cost leaves $559,700. Future dollars are not discounted, and the earnings figure blends every major here — your programme can beat or miss it. Full method.
