College Scorecard (2026 release), institution-level · payback and returns are our math.
The arithmetic, on Landmark College's own numbers. Net price $56,954 × 2 years = $113,908 total. Median earnings $29,813 fall $18,547 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 $113,908 bill in about 11.4 years — the gap, not the price, is what blocks payback. Full method.
