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

The arithmetic, on Immaculata University's own numbers. Net price $24,258 × 4 years = $97,032 total. Median earnings $75,701 − the $48,360 high-school baseline = $27,341 a year of premium. $97,032 ÷ $27,341 = 3.5 years to break even; twenty years of that premium minus the cost leaves $449,788. Future dollars are not discounted, and the earnings figure blends every major here — your programme can beat or miss it. Full method.
