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

The arithmetic, on Faith International University's own numbers. Net price $22,662 × 4 years = $90,648 total. Median earnings $51,006 − the $48,360 high-school baseline = $2,646 a year of premium. $90,648 ÷ $2,646 = 34.3 years to break even; twenty years of that premium minus the cost leaves -$37,728. Future dollars are not discounted, and the earnings figure blends every major here — your programme can beat or miss it. Full method.
